During the first year after losing Rob, I kept wondering when I was going to feel better. What was the magic number of days, weeks, months or years. There is no magic number. Grieving is personal. I knew in my heart when I felt the weight of sadness slowly lifting and my heart was feeling lighter, that changes were taking place.
There are no time limits to grieving, and don’t let anybody tell you any different. I believe that grieving never stops. I know that I am happy again, I fell in love again, but when I think of Rob, which is almost every day, I still miss him terribly, and I still wonder why he was taken from me. So I think that means I am still grieving his loss.
It is kind of crazy to understand because how can I be so happy, laughing all the time, loving Steve who is such an amazing and loving partner, yet still after 5 1/2 years love Rob too. If I have said it once, I have said it a million times. The love never dies. I am proof of that. So once again, there are no time limits to grieving, so don’t stress or worry about it. Just take one day at a time.
