By this time, most people are making new relationships and remembering their loved one, but not greiving so much of the time.
If you are having trouble moving on, try speaking with a counselor, possibly a religious advisor or grief counselor in your mental health clinic.
Good luck.
It does get better.
Hi, I understand and empatise with your loss, and the pain inside you feel. I lost my father few years ago, he too was my best friend. I lost him due to illness., I was there to see every part of his pain. This in turn helped with some parts of my grief as I believe that no one should have to live in pain like he did. Going through all the emotions have been difficult but I have understood them to be necessary in dealing with the loss. At first I was angry, how could such a wonderful man be taken away, then the other stages of grief happened over time. What ive found most important is what someone once told me is that you will never ever forget or get over it but you will get through it. Time is the teacher, it does heal however you have to be prepaired to cry when you feel it, dont suppress your emotions. If you want a good howl then do it. Also dont forget, talk about him to people, bring out favourite parts of your life you have shared with one another, old pictures, cards, letters watch home movies if you have them etc. I still have days that I just bawl and its been over three years however its ok. You need to remind yourself that its ok too., and that just because its been a while since hes died doesnt mean your love has or the memories you have shared, so nor should the pain in losing him. Just dont punish yourself for that sadness but remember when you look up into the heavens that hes probably similing down on you and asking you to smile for him, he would want you to remember him healthy and happy and for you to be happy too. , get some hugs too from people you love., that can be something you need too..
