I believe so. I do not think grief ever goes away. It changes us forever. I hope you can work through yours. (HUGS) Kristine

Yes, I think grief does go eventually. Don't get me wrong, you NEVER forget that person/persons, they will be a part of your memory forever.

We learn to live our lives without them, but realise that they are in a better place, and that when it's 'our yime' we will join them and 'see' them again. Two years is still early days with two people, and some days you will feel immense sadness, but other days you will feel BETTER. I promise. If I can help please email me if alloed x

I say it lasts forever, but it deminishes over time... we learn how to cope with the loss a little better day by day.

The Grief will last for ever, but the power it holds over you and the ammount of time you spend in the depths of it fades as all memories, good or bad do with time. My youngest son has been dead (well it will be 6 years April 3rd.) At any time a sound, smell son., memorie or anything can bring the grief back for a while. You do learn to live your life with it though. The time is diffrent for everyone. You will always be sad and grieve on their birthdays and death days. Try to remember and celebrate their lives, not just think of their loss and death. There will come a time when you can remember the happy and the good times. It takes time and a concious effort. Love and good luck. I have much expierence with grief. I have lost my only 2 children( both sons) and a step daughter all within 6 years. I am building a life much diffrent than before and I am a diffrent person than before. I am alive. Peggy

Grief changes over time but I dont think it ever truly goes away. We just learn to live with it and make new lives without our loved ones

Thanks so much for the advice/support!

YOU LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT. MY DAD PASSED 13 YEARS AGO. AND THEN I HAD A NEICE STILLBORN 3 YEARS AGO. AND IT STILL HURTS. WHAT IM DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW IS MY HUSBAND DIED IN OCT LAST YEAR, AND IVE GOT A 9 MONTH OLD LITTLE GIRL. IT TAKES ALOT OUT OF YOU. BUT LIFE GOES ON.

Thanks for the link to the website, kieran. it is very helpful

it lasts forever...its the coping thats the hard part

I know after 20 years my grief is still here. I keep at bay better today than when Chris died in 1989. He was 15, and died of an asthma attack.
