Is it normal to grieve and cry weekly about loss from 3 years ago? My dog grandma and best...

There is no time limit on grief. Those are gaps in your soul that will last forever. You may get used to the emptiness over time, but it will never go away entirely. Hopefully, you will find others to make their own space in your soul, and that will help mask the older pain.

I lost my parents within a year of each other. It's been 3/4 years and I'm still not okay. I don't know what helps but I've just started grief counseling.

It sounds cliché, but you have to "let go" and move on. This guy in the picture was
my constant companion for 14 years. I was crushed when I had to let him go.
I sobbed off and on for a couple weeks, I am teary eyed now just typing about
him, and he passed 10 years ago. But I never dwell on things that upset me,
there are too many good things to think about that make me happy.

It's all up to us, what we think about, and dwell upon. Think good thoughts
all day, every day. Do not dwell in misery, you only hurt yourself.

grief can be devastating and overwhelming, it is very normal to still be grieving, i hope you can get help for your grief and get help to process the grief as it can take quite some tome to learn to live with it, i wish you well and i will keep you in my prayers.

Remembering your loved ones doesn’t fall under depression, unless your daily life routine is affected due to grieving or recalling the memories.

(((((HUGS))))) We never stop grieving, to force ourselves to stop makes it worse, it's not depression but rememberance.
