Rosondo, grief can't be rushed. There's no magic way of making it hurry up and be over. Actually, it you try to rush it the emotions just end up buried and you have problems to deal with down the road. The best advice I can give is to allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling. Maybe instead of observing your feelings you could experience them. Does that make sense?

I think someone else said this already. Grief can last the rest of your life. My brother died 43 years ago. I still miss him. My Mom has been gone four years. I miss her every day. Matter of fact I dreamed about her last night.

Please be kind to yourself and let the process take the time it needs to take.
Thanks for this!
