Have you lost a loved one before? If so how long does it take before you can finally move on with your life?
I lost my sister to suicide in september 2018. Coming up to 3 years since she passed. And a year ago on Xmas I wasn't quite ready to celebrate a Xmas yet. And still not. Because it's not the same without her. I was told by someone who was supposedly my friend that I'm being stupid and it's been over a year since she died and I should stop being so dramatic and get over it already!
It hurt so much being told that because yes it had been a year but it still hurt so much losing my sister as if it had only happened yesterday! The pain was still just as painful as the day I found out she died. Is there a time limit on grief? Am I only allowed to grieve for a certain amount of time before acting like everything is OK?
Just wondering if anyone else has been told to get over it and move on already when you aren't quite ready to move on from the loss of a loved one?
