I hope you find your way to process everything and I'm very sorry for your loss.

I agree. Grief and sorrow hits people differently. You can't ( and probably shouldn't) put a date on it. The more you stress about dates the more you manufacture grief instead of letting it come naturally and in its own time. We are coming up to The 11th hour of the 11th month ( armistice day) in the uk when we remember those who have fought and died in wars. There is now a 2 minute silence. Whilst i respect it i can't just turn it on and off like a tap. Grief , like joy, comes naturally, and at times when we least expect it.
Get on with your life, do the best you can and when it hits go with it , work through it and carry on. Hmm there's a t- shirt slogan there. Don't go on a guilt trip. Good luck.
