I personally find life very difficult to understand and stumble badly and this takes time to recover. My half brother lost his young son at 14 in a car crash and at least his daughter survived but lost his wife through divorce. He has numbed himself or bottled it up and carry on with life working and doing well. But I am not like that and time the only healer but how long? I suppose everybody has their way of grieving and for me definitely not easy.

Everyone grieves differently. And we must respect that. I am very sorry for his loss.
I lost my best friend when I was 16 and I can functional normally, but even after 5 years it still gets to me. It is not just about them gone that causes this sadness, it is the memories we cherish and realizing that those are the only memories we will ever get to have with them, to create with them. Many words unsaid, many things planned that was never done, one last hug or kiss that never got to happen. But we need to cherish the memories that we had with them, but still everyone grieves differently.

I agree.with you. The grieving process is a healthy one to allow us to cope.

@Gita17112016 Yep, there is 5 stages for grief and you have to let people go through them.

First off I am so sorry for your loss. People handle grief differently. I am like you I would have a very difficult time to go on after such a great loss. Your half brother is doing what works for him and he carries that pain every day but he chooses not to let it show. He is how he deals. Life is very difficult and when I person so young loses their life it is hard to move forward.

Hi there. Different folk, different strokes. People grieve differently, and people heal differently. Also the Time is different. I suppose what makes us recover faster has a lot to do with belief systems too.
