Grief after 6 months..

100% Normal
2 Comments

I lost 3 close people in my life in a two yr time span, one being a family member who passed away 6 months ago. I thought that I was coping well and healing, but one day out of nowhere all the pain hit me like it was yesterday that they died. I did not really have time to grieve when their deaths occurred because of my long hours at work and I was always the one my family and friends turned to for support. Now, I am so sad, crying very often. Is this normal after 6 months to have such feelings?

Thank you in advance to anyone who responds.

    It's completely normal! I was the same way when I lost my granddad. It didn't hit me that he was gone for a long time, and then one day, i fully realized. If it helps, I felt better quite quickly because i had already gotten myself so used to the idea of him being gone. But every now and again, i feel it really refreshing to just cry and even talk to him in a prayer sort of style (not neccesarily religious but it seemed like a good example) i hope everything works out for you, and you find this helpful.

    I'm so sorry to hear that. Losing a loved one can be very hard, but remember they're in a better place now. It's better to remember the good times and how much memories you had together, to be able to say you spent a wonderful time with that person while they were alive than to be sad. I know it's hard but be happy that they're now in a much peaceful place now watching over you.
