How Long Will it Take to Get Over my Grief?

The pain you can feel inside when someone you love passes away is impossible to put into words. Getting over a loved one's death can be one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do.

But how long will it take you to get over your grief, and be able to move on in your life without the feelings of sorrow? In today's blog I'm going to take a look at this subject.

These Things Take Time

Unfortunately there's no blanket answer which applies to this question. Everyone reacts to grief in a different way and everyone will recover from it at their own rate.

For some people it may take only a couple of days to get over a loved one's passing - particularly if it has been expected for some time due to illness or age - whereas someone who's been bereaved suddenly and shockingly may take years to feel like they've truly been able to feel as if they've moved on in their lives.

Therefore, it's important to not rush yourself, or indeed rush others. You may find yourself thinking, 'why have other people moved on so much quicker than me?' or if it's the opposite way around, 'why is it taking others so long to get past this?'

How do I Move on?

Again, there's no easy answer for this either. A 'strategy' employed by many is to try and remember the happy times which you shared with the person that's passed away. Nothing will ever be able to take away those memories from you.

Another one is to speak to family and friends who also knew the deceased, sharing stories about them and also checking in on one another, asking if they're ok and if they need any support in what is unquestionably a difficult time.

On Funeral Notices, many customers leave long tributes to those who have passed away, some on a regular basis. This may prove a cathartic experience to those grieving.

What I found after losing my boy 4 hours before his 39th birthday last September, nothing at all matters, especially Money. He left me well provided for unknown to me. I can't spend a penny of it but have found people less fortunate than myself receiving donations from me as it makes me so happy. I found myself in Newcastle last week and listened to a young man singing such classical music, this made me so happy, no shopping, what could I find to put a smile back on my face. This would only happen if I could see my boy for just 5 minutes, alas, this will never happen. I visit my boy in his room and we talk about what the rest of the day will bring. People who have not lost a child cannot comprehend nothing else matters. All my years of working and running businesses and taking my child for granted were wasted years , so anyone reading this, get your children and hold them, kiss them and tell them you love them so much. Nothing is real or worth your time worrying about anything. I write to my boy and tell him every day how much I love and miss him.Christmas is looming and I can only give him a hug a card with some flowers. I take one hour at a time but we all handle grief differently but I would like to hear from anyone with any advice or help to make life livable . My heart goes out to all people who have found themselves in such a dark place and alone. I will say a prayer for all of you and may you find peace in your heart and mind. Best wishes Liz
