How long will it take to stop grieving and feel normal?
If you're wondering how long it will take to stop grieving and feel normal again, the reality is that grieving is a process that we continue on through our life. We're not going to get over our loved one or recover from the grief. Instead, we're going to tuck that person in our heart and we're going to grieve little by little for them throughout the years, and of course intensely in the first year or two. Some people often say that as time goes on it still hurts, but it just hurts less often. When we look at grief we think about that idea of returning to normal. You're not going to return to the normal that you were at with your loved one. You're going to find a new normal. It's going to be a normal without them, but they'll still remain with you in so many ways that you will still feel their presence even though physically they will be gone.
