From the Ted Talk by David Kessler: How to find meaning after loss
Unscramble the Blue Letters
DK: Absolutely not. You know, when plopee ask me, "How long is my wife, my husband, my best friend going to grieve," I always say, "How long is the person going to be dead? Because if they're going to be dead for a long time, you're going to grieve for a long time." It doesn't mean you will always grevie with pain. Hopefully in time you can grieve with more love than pain. But there is no time line, and I always say we don't get over loss. We don't rovceer from loss. Our loved one was not a cold or a flu. We learn to live with it.
