What Should Be The Appropriate Time To Move Forward?

I think that an appropriate time to move forward depends on the person that is having to deal with the loss of a loved one or something else. We are all different and moving on is not so easy for many of us or all of us. Some people have a difficult time letting go and going forward. A friend of mine lossed her husband last June and she has not been able to move on as of yet and is still having a hard time grieving. Some people recover quicker and are able to go on. It would probably take me some time to move on, though maybe not as long as my friend or other people out there.

Your post is just in time for me. When the relationship ended, it is best for the person to move on the soonest possible time. Maybe she/he could give oneself to grieve and cry her/his hearts out. Pour all the emotions. After that, go out with other people, see people and visit different places that could ease down the hurt you have. Second, when someone passed away who is close to you. Based from my experience, this is the most horrible time for me. I really find it difficult to cope up. Its really hard to accept things even if it takes sometime that that person passed away. I agree with what you said that it really depend on how close that person to you.

I thinkink grieving is a natural process that we have to allow ourselves in order to heal. In my past experience I think it goes in phases a bit. First there is hurt, disbelief- How could "he/she do this to be"? Then there is sadness and confusion..... What will happen to me now? How can I survuve.... I will miss "US" so much Then the Anger sets in (at least for me) "How dare he/She do this to me!!!! How dare they reduce me to this ! Then there is "the Plan" that's when progress and healing begin. I will find another job, I will meet new people, I will do nice things for "ME"... and so on. I think it's important NOT to skip any of the processes. I thibk if you go to denial or pretend it's something that it's not the process is muted but not gone. The grieving will only last longer. I was once told by a marriage counselor in a Divorce Recovery workshop " FEEL the emotion - it's yours, you own it" whether it be sadness, anger or joy you own it,... allow yourself to feel it. Hope that explains what you were looking for a little.

I would have to agree with you in saying that it is up to the person that is going through it , they know how strong they are and they can follow there heart and it will let them know when it is time to move ahead.. To often people jump from one relationship to another and this is just from there insecurity within themselves and they feel they always need someone around, but in the long run they will continue doing this till they take time out and found out who they are and what they really want...

I think it is a case by case thingy. Different people require different amount of time... so only you yourself can know. :/

I don't feel that there is a "set time" per se, but to just carry on doing the things you do, and going out with friends and when you see someone you like then you'll know if your ready or not. I know this doesn't apply to everyone but thats how i do it and it seems to work.

Going forward has to be the way but we can still grieve as we go through life on the same or different path that we have made for ourselves. It's not easy, but the sooner we go on with our lives the better the future will hold for us.

We should move forward at the appropriate time!For example,when we are in bad relationships with others,we should stop,and do something to make up it.Then,we must move forward on!
