Crying on Cue

I don't know what is wrong with me.  I always thought of myself as strong; but lately I just don't know.  I have gained a new skill in the past 10 weeks - I can now cry on cue.  I can also cry off cue, while driving, while working and while showering.  It's amazing, really, to see these changes going on in my life completely out of my control.  I don't know what to do.

Perhaps it's time to explore grief counseling.  I need to know if this is typical.  Is this how it goes?  My brother-in-law - the husband of my deceased sister - even told me I have to move on.  I think the people in my life are tired of dealing with my constant grief.  Hell, I'm tired of it as well, but I'm unable to stop.

"When your parents die, it is said you lose your past; when your spouse dies, you lose your present; and when your child dies, you lose your future. However, when your sibling dies, you lose a part of your past, your present, and your future."
