			<description><![CDATA[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....]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I lost my only child 18 months ago. I still cry everyday. My grief will end the moment I take my last breath. It will be when I am reunited with my son. 
  
 Grief lasts forever. Maybe the tears will stop but the pain and sorrow will always be a part of who you are.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have to say that your heart ache never goes away even though life does go on it will never be the same.  I find that even when I laugh it is not the same as how I used to laugh before my loss.  It has taken part of my soul that I will never get back.  I have to agree with what everyone has said so...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You will always feel their loss but if you find it difficult to out, I think you should see a counselor or join a grief support group.
