Grieving: Is normal with the death of a family member. If it persists reater than 3 months it could be classified as an adjustment disorder. The tingling in your fingers may be due to hyperventilation or from recurrent vomiting. Try to eat a healthy balanced diet. See your doctor if your symptoms persist to have lab work checked and discuss further. You may benefit from talking with a psychologist.

Probably anxiety: Please visit your doc for a check up to rule out other possibilities. I'm sorry for your loss. If you have a spiritual side, a book called "Praying our Good Byes" by Joyce Rupp may be helpful. Peace and good health.
