Does your heart ever still hurt because you miss someone you lost?

I lost someone very close to me nearly a year ago and it still hurts like hell. The anniversary is next week. I've had real ups and downs. Naturally feeling low as the first year comes close to passing. I miss them so much it physically hurts. I just wanna cry. I just want to talk to them. But I've been told over and over again that it's been a year and I should just get over it. It's been so long I can't be sad anymore. That's not fair.

Whoever (or maybe it’s whomever...I can’t remember at this point) is saying that to you, is cold and heartless. I’d give them a wide berth. Grief is personal to the person grieving. There is no set time for healing. It’s your heartache, and it will diminish over time, in your own time. Don’t feel like there is something wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you. It took me 7-years to heal from one loss, and it’s been 3-years since my most recent loss, and I still miss him terribly. It doesn’t hurt every day like it once did, but I get phases of grief every now and again. I’m in one now. I’m sorry for your loss. 🤗
