No, it's not weird - I went through a phase of wanting all the sex whilst grieving - it takes your mind off things, releases positive hormones and emotions and reminds you you can still feel. |

I went to a sex worker the day after my wife's funeral. Most people will regard that as disgraceful and perhaps it was.
I simply found it comforting and in no way diminished my love for my wife which remains to this day 10 years after she died . |

"Bit of an odd one but do any of you want sex when you're grieving? I've experinced this numerous times. I want to make sure I'm not weird!"
Absolutely no way. My grief has been private and stressful. Sex is the last thing I wanted. |

I was discussing this recently with a relationship therapist and it’s fairly common. Not something I’ve wanted to do but the reasons are because sex makes you close to another person and it reminds you that you’re alive.
So no, you’re not crazy |

"This takes me back 11/12 years, my grandad passed away and I did an impulsive meet with a lady from another site.
So yeah everyone has different ways of grieving."
Yeah I think is related to my grandparents for sure. My partner hasn't passed away, I can't begin to imagine how thst would feel. |

Used to be a thing in hospitals, lose a patient that you faught hard to try to save, hop into bed (or store cupboard) with another member of staff. Comforting and life affirming.
Not allowed now obvs |

We have both experienced grief with the loss of very close loved ones n found sex a very important part of grieving as it brings so much closeness, that for a lot of couples is much needed to understand what their partner is going through
Just go with what feels right for you x |

Only if she's still warm. |

"I don’t want sex, it is the last thing on my mind, just the thought of it it makes me feel “unfaithful” if that makes sense but that is just me, we are all different. "
I'm struggling with exactly the same. Feeling it's being unfaithful.... even though it's not

Definitely when my sibling died. It reminded me I was alive, it felt good and I needed a release.
I imagine it might be different if it was a partner.
My research indicated it was a pretty common impulse. |
