The answer to that Joy is no I think. People grieve in different ways but I think rather than getting over it they learn to live with it. I have a feeling that William and Harry will have been persuaded by their father to keep a stiff upper lip. i.e. To bottle up their emotions and not express their grief so they have had to work through it all this time later. That is so sad isn't it? |

It must possibly be one of the hardest things to come to terms with, losing your Mum when young, I am sorry to hear that Joy. <3 |

Do you ever really get over the death of a loved one, especially your mother? |

There is no time limit. There are stages to grief but everybody goes through it in their own way in a time frame that is right for them. Most people make it through eventually to acceptance and learn to live with it, but sadly some get 'stuck' and that acceptance is a long time coming, sometimes never. |

Thank you Joy. There are quite a few people on here who have suffered a similar loss, and probably many we don't know about. We have all got through in our own way, even when to start with we probably didn't know how we could go on living. |

I don't think there is. You just learn to live with the loss as time passes. |

Does anybody else find the term 'get over it' insensitive when talking about the loss of a parent, or any loved one? My parents died just over 20 years ago, yes, you learn to live with it but never 'get over it' and nor would I ever want to get over it.. |

AnninGlos | Report | 22 Apr 2017 09:04 |
I do think that is insensitive Haribo. People can't just throw a switch and 'get over it'. My parents both died in 'old age' I miss them but don't have the degree of grief I probably would have had if they had died while I was young. The older we get the more people we lose, and sometimes friends cause us more grief than family. 17 years ago our son and daughter in law had a stillborn son, I know they still grieve for him but are fortunate to have two other lovely children which helps, I often wonder what he would be like now I suppose that is a kind of grieving.. Everyone is different I think. |
