If you’re reading this, chances are you’re struggling with grief and wondering if you’ll ever feel okay again. Maybe you’ve asked yourself:
I know these thoughts because I’ve had them, too. I know what it’s like to wake up every day with a heaviness that doesn’t go away. To wonder if life will ever feel normal again.
So how do you move forward when grief feels like it’s consuming you?
For years, I felt lost in grief. I had no idea how to process it, and honestly, I didn’t even try. I was just surviving, going through the motions, but inside, I was exhausted.
Grief isn’t just about sadness—it’s anger, guilt, resentment, and even fear of moving forward. I spent nearly 10 years trapped in negativity, waiting for time to heal me. But time alone doesn’t heal.
One day, I realised: This isn’t living. This is just existing.
And I knew I needed to find another way.
The first thing I want you to know is this: You don’t have to “get over” grief—but you can learn to live with it in a way that doesn’t destroy you.
Here are some of the things that helped me:
If you’re searching for How long does grief last?—there’s no set answer. Grief isn’t something you just “get over.” But it does change over time, and you can learn to carry it in a way that allows you to move forward.
Many people struggling with grief try to avoid emotions because they’re too painful. But grief demands to be felt. Pushing it down only keeps you stuck.
I used to believe that time would eventually make me feel better. But the truth? Time only passes—it’s what you do with that time that matters. Healing requires action, not just waiting.
When I started using my grief to help others, everything changed. I realized that loss could break me, or it could shape me into someone stronger. That mindset shift was life-changing.
Grief is isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether it’s therapy, a grief mentor, or a support group, having someone to guide you can make all the difference.
If you’re feeling stuck in grief right now, please know this:
💛 You will smile again.
💛 You will find joy again.
