In reply to How long does a person grieve?, posted by marfaith on June 1, 2005, at 14:02:32
Are you in therapy? I ask because you've had two MAJOR losses in three years. That's huge. Processing that without help would be very difficult.
There is no answer to "how long", but you probably knew that. In my experience, we don't really stop grieving...it just gets less difficult over time. But what we CAN do is to determine how that loss changed us, and figure out how to accept the new me. For me that was the only way I could go on.
You might look up William Worden on the Internet and read about his Tasks of Grief. I've found that to be helpful.
If you are not seeing a T, I'd do that soon.
hugs, emmy
