How long does it take to get over death?
my grandfather died 8 days ago. he was 90 and had alzheimers so it wasn't unexpected. he was the first person i've ever known to die and i had a really hard time for the first few days and cried nonstop. but now i'm beginning to get back to my old self and am starting to think about it less and less. how long is it going to take to get over this? and am i getting over it too fast?
3-6 months is the average grieving process. Sorry for your loss. Feel the pain and take your time.

I don't believe there is a "dead-line" on when to stop grieving. You will always remember your grandfather on his birthday and when he died. You will always remember your grandfather, in your memories. There is no time limit on grief. Cry, get angry, and then remember the good times. My grandfather died in 1991 and it took me a long time to stop grieving. But I always remember grandfather's birthday and death date. I hope this helps.......

There is no time. My mother died on May 5th and I'm not all down and depressed like when it first happened, but it still hurts alot. Some people get over it faster than others and some people never get over it. It really depends on the person. Some people are stronger than others. You are fine. My condolences.

dont know just let it come naturally some get over it in 5 seconds like me and some it takes years and some never get over it

Everyone is different. For some it is a very short time, for others it goes on for a few years.
Your grandpa had a full long life, many people don't-and you have had all that time to make wonderful memories. You also have your life to live and it is natural for you to get on with your life.
Do h old on to the lovely memories of your grandfather and honor him by being the person he would want you to be-honest, loving,compassionate, sincere and have fun as you travel the path of life-so much is ahead of you-growing up,job,marriage,family, and before you know it, you will be a grandparent. Talk to family and friends of your memories of him-because of him giving birth to your parent, you now live.

It depends on many factors. One being how close you were to the person that passed, what you think about death, and was the death expected. My guess is you were pretty close to him. You loved him. You are sad he is no longer here on this plane. It is a 100% guarantee that we all get to pass on after this plane, but we don't really know what's next. Your grandfather may be feeling relief about passing on and no longer being in an aging body with a confused mind. He may be feeling free and whole and no doubt he would want you to feel good. He had a good, long life and you can be grateful that he was able to see and do many things in his life. And now he is at peace and he would want you to be also. You have his memories and how wonderful that is. Here is a quote I read awhile ago: When you are born you cry and people are joyful. Live your life well so that when you die you are joyful and the world cries. I am sure he was a wonderful man and you have his memories always.

he was 90 and it wasnt expected? wow my grandpa is 93 and hes doing good it appears, but in all relity i expect him to die anyday...hes 93 after all. but yeah it takes time to get over a persons death. but 8 years of greiving is a long time. i dont think thats too fast.

There is no time limit on grief, everyone is different. Just be you and don't put a timer on it. Grieving is a part of healing, it's a normal process, in time it fades, it gets easier. You will always feel a certain sadness when you think of your grandfather I'm sure, that is normal.

agreed with other answer, some poeple never really get over death.... especially dead people , i mean there is still loads of stigmatism. Its impossible to find work, an the accomodation provided is very cramped and sub-standard
dont tell people my grand mother died, i just say i stopped visiting her when she moved.....
They ask where she moved to and will carmly i with just name the cemetary
bun
srry but it depends with the person

The grieving period varies from person to person. There is actually no "normal amount of time" There are 7 stages that people usually go through not in any particular order.
Look up seven stages of grief.
Grief can be a problem if after 6 months you are still having much difficulty with everyday life. Then you should speak to your doctor. Youre not getting over it too fast, youre doing just fine. You loved him and from time to time you will remember him and might feel a little sad.

yes and no.. Time heals all but. Memeries are best
RadPinkShoes0oo
well it basically goes throught stages
grieving where your just really sad and that's all you can think about
then it's bargianing where you say you will do anything or give anything to have that person back in your life
then it's accepting where you are still very sad about what happened, but you accept the fact that everything happenes for a reason
my brother died when he was a baby and i know exactly how you feel.
hope you feel better

There is no set time in the grieving process. Look for a church that has grief classes. They help tremendously. You will never completely get over the loss, it just gets easier with time. Always remember your grandfather, and he will live forever!!!

There are many things that determine length of grief work. I'd say for many people about a year, not all of that time will be severe grief; but on special days, birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas...I don't think you will be able to just "get over this."
Grief is work.
