HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE PAIN OF LOSING SOMEONE SPECIAL TO GO AWAY?

it all depends it may take a lifetime and still it might not go away

It takes a long time if you lose someone who is near to your heart....I can say that as i have experienced that in the recent past,not much but just few days ago,19th to be very precise....he was a dear brother of mine and whenever i think of him my eyes couldnt stop crying....its been 3 yrs i had not shed a single tear in my eyes but this incident makes me feel so sad that i am not able to stop my emotions....!! I dont know how long would it take but all i can say is that his memories are still fresh in my mind and sometimes brings smile to my face.....

My husband of 26 yrs recently passed away. This has been the worst year of my life. My family seemed to fall apart too. Things are better now, but it is still so hard. I miss my husband so very much. Somehow someway time does help. The first year is the hardest. The first of special days are so very hard. Holidays, birthdays, Christmas. This Christmas will be especially hard for all of you. My heart goes out to you and your family. Prayer helps, being around family helps too. Keep busy and try not to think. Good luck and May God Bless you and your family.

I gave birth to a sets of twins 3 years ago.I didn't have the chance to hold them or to say goodbye.I know they in a better place but I just miss them so much.

It isn't easy to loss someone who is dear to you. Years may have passed. The person may be gone but the memories still lingers on. You cannot get over it because at once, she touches your life. She may not be physically present but definitely, the memories won't fade...She is still remebered of a lota and alwys in your LIFE...But life doesn't end there, you all need to move on together. Grow together in the loss she brought on, and make her the icon for moving on to better lives...

I guess it would depend on that person some hold on more than others. I am so sorry for your loss and the timing. I am not an expert on this subject..I god forbid have not lost my mother.I guess knowing that my mother is in a special place with no pain or hurt,and knowing I will see her again in that place,would make me feel a little at ease.But there is something that no one can ever take away from you those memories of her. She is with you always,she has never left and will never leave....she is in your heart....gosh,I'm starting to cry just thinking of my mother in the past tense,They each need "their" time and it will get easier in time,I do believe. Again I'm so sorry of your loss.

i dont think the pain of losing someone special can go away that easily.

sorry for your loss. i know its hard to lose some one who is very close to you. i lost my grandmother two year ago and i miss so much but she all way with me in my heart. your mom is alway looking down at you and she in your heart forever. you have to take it one day at the time. i wish you the best think about all the good time you had with her it will help. god bless you

It never goes away, you just have to move on.

it will never go away completely it will get easier in time,alway remeber this:everytime you think of them or quote something they said they will always be alive. if you pass their wisdom to others than they will live forever

Everyone is different, and everyone has a different relationship. I would say that the pain never goes away, but time will soften it, so that it isn't so painful 24/7. I have lost my mother, father, brother, and close friends and pets. Just take it a day at a time, and don't put a limit on time to heal.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you. I've never experienced anything like that before but my cousins have lost their father when they were teenagers, they say the pain never goes away, but as time goes by it gets better.

I just lost my dad on Oct 17th this year and I still catch myself wanting to call him up and talk to him. I miss hearing his voice and being able to tell him I love him. I can't bring myself to delete his number off my phone. I think if I remove it I will delete his memory. I know thats not true but it helps to hold on to him.
