Grief is a highly variable and very personal journey through loss. There are no official time frames for how long it takes for someone to go through the stages of grief. It’s an emotional process that cannot be rushed. People grieve differently and what may take one person only a few weeks, can take another person years.
You will know when you are “over” the passing of a loved one. We never forget those who touched our lived in a special way, but when the worst of the grief is over and we can remember the wonderful things with a smile, then you you know you are ready to move on.
