Is it normel to grieve over the death of a loved one even years later?
:(

Yes it is normal the grieving process is like a cut the shock of finding out then there is pain then it gets itchy as you are getting over it but there will always be that scar to remember thats what my father told me when i lost my cousin i hope this helps out

cheers

Yes...and decades after that...only generally you grieve in a different way

Grieving can take up to the rest of your life. I find that you never really stop grieving. Any little thing can set the tear duct going again and any little thing can set you smiling about them again.
When someone leaves you who meant that much to you, you're always going to miss them and think about them. It's perfectly natural and you're not alone.

Grieving for a loved one or friend can take the rest of your life, somtimes a person never gets over the death of a loved one. it is normal.

Thank you so much for the kind sopport...its nice to know I'm not the only one.
See, the person who passed away was not only a vary close friend but I thought of her as more of a motherly figure to me, as my own mother isn't vary...we'll just leave it as "understanding" (her words cut like a knife when she's angry, and I just happen to be the lucky one she blames for all her stress.)
She was there for me when my birth mother wasn't...and now she's gone, even though it was years ago now, the scar that is left is just as real as the day we reseived that horrible phone call...she was the one I could run to, her house served as a warm refuge whenever things got 2 bad at home...now I have nowhere to go and no one to turn to.

Depends on how long you grieve. Grieving around the holidays, birthdays, anniveraries and things like that is normal; however, if the grieving continues on for a long period of time and takes over your life then I would suggest that you seek help with a professional.

The question is not if grieving is normal, but insteed how long at a time does one normally grieve.

^^ Going for conselling (sp?) is a terrific idea.
It helped me and quite a few of my friends. Sometimes you may just sit in silence yet come away feeling as if a weight has been lifted and sometimes you'll talk and talk and talk, sometimes about things that you never even knew were bothering you.
The length of grieving always varies but talking can help make you feel better. I'd think about it. Bottling it up never helpes anyone.

Yes its normal. my grandfather died a few years ago. i was so close to him. i still cry sometimes because i miss him and im in the house he used to live in, so there are some really strong memories with him. i used to be with himall the time, so his death was really hard for me, harder on me than some of my sisters because i was closer to him. *please dont misunderstand my previous statement- im not saying they didnt love him as much as me, they just werent as close and the bond wasnt as strong*

Yes it is very normal. But also, you don't want the death to keep you from doing the things you like so just try to think of the times you enjoyed. If there is something that you never really resolved with that person try writing them a letter.

Let me ask you this. Is it normal to forget that person forever? No, and so long as you remember them it will always hurt you to know that they are gone.

^ really agree. my nan died 3 years ago, and it still kills me. i like miss her so so much

My mom died 5 years ago and i would still give anything to have her back

Of course. my best friend/cousin's brother commited suicide and now shes cutting herself and thats her way of showing grief. it may not be a good way but its her way. im really sorry for your loss. best wishes.

Alright I read it. Pieces.

Of course it is...i mean u loved them! and its hard to let go!

Yes, i think it is. i have had people in my life die that were very important to me and im still not over it. i dont think we ever totally can get over it.

Angel:
It is ok to grieve over someone death for years later.. For different people it is different... I always wondered that my self.. There are a few people I grieve over and it's been a few years... Things as little as songs or poems remind me of those people and it hits me as if it were just yesterday that they had passed.. You're not alone..

Yeah. Death is never easy and some people never get over it. Just hang in there....its okay ^u^

Yup.. of coarse it is, especially if you were soo close or they lived with you or something... Whats not normal is if you're putting your life off cuz of that death

Of course it is. i have never had anyone close to me die but if they did i would be sad forever. I still think about pets that have passed away.

It's as normal as breathing. I still grieve over my uncle, and my mom still grieves over him and her mom. My dad's lost friends to diseases, and i'm sure he's grieving over them still. It takes time to move on

It's perfectly normal.

Death of a loved one can take a very very long time to control the grief, you never really 'get over it'.

Sometimes people control the grief in months, others take longer. Everyone is different.

Yes of course it's normal.

It goes to show how much you loved that person, and it takes a while to move on with your life.

go ahead and grieve

I guess that no matter how long it
is you will always have them in your heart
and especially if it is a loved one it never really goes away, tho some days are better than others.
It is only natural to grieve over some one you love
even if it is years later.

YAHHH.. it is
..
its alright to cry :)

Yea i think its normal my dad was murdered a year ago the 30th of this month and i think of him everyday and i always get a lump in my throat like im gonna cry and i dont see that changing even 10 years from now its a rough thing to deal with it really is so if you ever wwanna talk pm me bc i can use talking to someone anytime

Well its been almost 2 months since my brother died from an overdose. we don't know if it was on purpose or an actual mistake and i guess the hardest part is that we will never know, i miss him everyday and i mean i know that 2 months isn't exactly a long time but i honestly don't see myself getting over him and what happened. but there are other people in my life i have lost who i loved with all my heart and even after years still have not come 2 terms with their deaths. death is never an easy thing 2 deal with, especially when its the death of someone you love
