Learning to live with grief, integrating it as part of yourself, and eventually even living a thriving life, is in NO way "getting over grief."
Grief becomes part of who you are. It doesn't go away. You don't get over it. It becomes part of you, and you integrate it, and it stops being as disruptive as it was immediately after the loss, but trying to "get over it" or believing most people do is almost dangerously naive.
- watwut 5y agoSounds like you are using definition of grief much different the rest of the world. The person I responded to did not defined it as infinitely long lasting either.
