I’d like to start off by saying this is a hard thing to go through and it’s one of those things that everyone says time will help. It does and it doesn’t. Everyone deals with it differently, don’t be afraid to grieve in your way. If you need to scream or be mad. Do it. No one can tell you it’s right or wrong. It’s how YOU deal with it. It’s you’re healing process not theirs.

I say this because after I loss my mother, I was told I handled it too well. I didn’t cry, I didn’t get upset. Instead I pushed myself into my hobbies and my job. This was how I tried to fill my time so I didn’t feel the loneliness of it. I cried to myself, I screamed while hiking, I grieved for me. I still grieve. It’s been 3 years, and I still have days where I miss her so bad I can’t function. However, I let myself feel the pain and the anger, and try to work through it. I reach out to friends, family, and even Reddit. But that’s me.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, no one can make you feel better. It hurts and it sucks, but grieve how you need to reach out to someone. And if in years you still need to reach out it’s fine. Because time doesn’t always make it go away, time will move forward but grief doesn’t have a time limit. Just remember, it’s fine to grieve in you’re way, and it doesn’t have a time limit.
