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.
