I'm probably too late to get a reply but, what do you suggest to get other people to talk to you about your grief with making you sound like a grief-filled monster?
My dad died this year, and I've found that everyone is too repressed and awkward about talking about death to acknowledge the fact he's died.
I don't want to have a big profound conversation, just want people to stop pretending it didn't happen. What can you say to open up that conversation without also making it the only thing they think you want to talk about?

Thanks for taking the time to write this out. I find myself bringing him up all the time (or at least alluding mentioning how my horrible year has been different to a lot of other peoples) and some people are receptive but a lot of them just respond with awkward silences.
Recently I've found myself complaining about how repressed people are about death and possibly bullying people into asking me about him. Maybe I should give your approach a try instead though.

How is it that despite (unnecessarily) adding milk to the pizza bases, they are drier than the taint of a dehydrated stick insect?
Also, are you concerned that someone from corporate will hunt you down now?

M. Night Shamalan would have hired you.
He looked at me and said, "You've got a face like a monkey. I'm gonna put you in a movie."
I said "OK"
