As long as it takes. No one can put a time frame on grief.

Thank you@DreamyCrush
There’s no set time. It can’t be rushed. It’s when you feel up to moving on. Everyone is different. We’re not to grieve too long, though. There’s a time and season for everything. Some set a time they think will be appropriate to grieve, then move on. Some can’t do that. When you start grieving yourself excessively to where you’re starting to lose your health, it’s time to seek help if you can’t move past it. We’re not losing them, and we’re not forgetting them. They’re spirit never dies and is always in that special place in our heart until we join them. I call it a special file in our heart, that is always with us, but we can open up and visit when we need and want to.
However long it takes, and it’s an individual thing.

Everyone is different and it depends on how close you were and engaged in eachothers lives.

It also depends I think on if the spouse was sick for a long period of time @stephanie19

Yes that's true@waterman1005
There’s no set rules. How ever long one needs.

I think when it’s stoppinh you from living, that’s when it’s time. You will loose people along the way and I look at nature, I see animals who loose companions.. They don’t stop, they continue.

Yes they may or may not remember their previous partners/mates as we do but I just see it as we can’t stop for what we loose.

You didn’t meet your spouse by staying locked away after a bad relationship, as an example. You moved forward and found someone else.

Not saying you can or should find someone else that’s down to the individual.

So Ye I think when you start to decline yourself you need to take care of yourself. That’s what they would have wanted, that’s how I think about it.

I lost my best friend when I was younger and it was so hard, really hard but you keep moving.. it’s sad in a way but also amazing how we can overcome such things.

I do not feel there is a "set" amount of appropriate time. We all grieve differently; there is no time frame, whether short or long.

as much time as it takes. it's a case by case basis, there is not minimum or maximum time

2 weeks to 3 years
