It’s been a little over 2 1/2 years since I lost my best friend of 18 years. I still miss him and cry about it at least once a month. My mom keeps telling me how long it’s been and I should move on and stop being sad. Am I grieving for too long? Is there an appropriate amount of time?
I don’t think there’s a set time for grieving. Everyone processes loss differently.
Two and a half years is a long time, but if you’re still emotional, that’s totally normal.
Your feelings are valid no matter how long it’s been. Don’t let anyone rush your healing.
I feel for you. My mom used to say the same stuff when I was grieving. Just ignore it.
