I lost my mom almost 4 yrs. ago in a horrible accident and it feels like it happened yesterday. I have so many negative emotions, that I can't deal with, so I try not to think about it.
I know not facing my emotions are creating problems for me, but I just don't know how to handle it.

Do you see a therapist or grief counsellor? They can help you to identify and start to work through some of your feelings.

Everyone seems to grieve differently and time frames of how long they stay in mourning are also different.

I lost my mother 6 years ago and haven't grieved for her because I had to immediately start taking care of my dad. I don't really know how to grieve and I'm in counseling. Everyone says it just takes time but time passes and the pain doesn't go away.

- lots of contemplation and introspection
- therapeutic crying to release the emotional energy associated with the life experience - transmuting the 'negative' feelings from the sense of 'loss' to positive, life-affirming feelings of gratitude when you think about how the individual positively influenced your life - reading about subject matters which expand your awareness of the spiritual dimension of existence (Near-Death Experiences, afterlife communication / dream visitations, etc) - simply being patient and allowing yourself time to go through the grieving process

You get through it but you never get over it.
We buried my stepdad on Christmas eve three decades ago. I lost my grandmother in 1999. My best girlfriend died in a freak accident three decades ago and she was only 21 y/o. Today I found myself crying hard because I still miss them. I will always miss them. This is the video I was watching today that got me started crying and grieving the losses again. It is bittersweet.
