[quote=Anonymous]Suggestions since you don't feel supported right now. Make it easy for people to support you:

- Yearly drive to support a cause the deceased cared about or a disease they passed away from (coincide with Giving Tuesday)
- Post about them yearly or biannually 
- Send old letters/photos of the person who passed to loved ones. "I found an old photo of you with x, you were so cute at that age!"
- Acknowledging that you might be a bit off during certain seasons/times of the year

That being said, anger is a phase in the grieving process and there is a phase where you might target that anger against other people. I have had loved ones who did this and it pushed everyone away. They ended up alone because they could not get out of this "me vs. them" attitude. Ultimately, if you make everything about you/your grief/your bad hand in life how are YOU supporting/celebrating/enjoying life with the people around you? It's just like with everything, if you feel wronged it is going to come out in your relationships with people.

There are people in this world who have truly been dealt a tough hand. I'm talking about losing both parents in childhood and being alone with no resources in parts of the world where resources are scarce. It's a blessing in many places of the world to have two parents to raise you to adulthood. Celebrate ways you are fortunate. It can be therapeutic to go and volunteer with less fortunate people.
