There is no time limit on it and you sound very aware and are working through it. You'll get there. Some times we get stuck in the depression phase if we are prone to it and need some help.

In Buddhism the goal is to be free of desire but we are human and that is very difficult.

You might be interested in Joseph Cambell and his writings on myth. There are certain stories or myths we as humans all carry. The creation myth. The night in shining armor rescues the damsel in distress. Myth doesn't mean false but a core of truth that turns into a story.
