It depends on each person, there is no set timing for the grieving process. You think your doing pretty good and then a song or a memory pops in your head and your a mess. My husband has been gone since 2003 you have good days and bad. So you really never get over it you just learn to deal with it.

It depends on how long they were in your life. I read half the length of the relationship...but that doesn't mean that you won't still miss them from time to time.
The fastest way to move on is to allow yourself to grieve completely and thoroughly. The stages of grief are:
1. Denial (this isn't happening to me!)
2. Anger (why is this happening to me?)
3. Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person)
4. Depression (I don't care anymore)
5. Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)
To allow yourself to grieve, this means don't feel guilty if you cry for hours or sleep for days. Don't worry if other people seem to be getting back to normal while you're still really sad - we each progress at our own pace and each had different relationships with the person. If you're angry, allow it and express it. Try journaling or getting into counseling. Write poems or stories. Find songs that make you feel better and listen to them over and over.
Most importantly, TAKE CARE of yourself! All of this can do a number on your own physical and emotional health. Make sure that you get enough sleep and enough to eat (good food). Exercise is an excellent distraction even if you have to force yourself. Find a good self-help book on death and dying or talk to others who have gone through the same thing.

I lost my first husband when I was 23. Time heals. There is no timetable for you to get through it. You just go at your own pace. It does get better. Faster for some than others. Don't push it. It will just happen. Don't worry. When the time is right, you will move on. Just know, even though they are not here with you physically, they are always with you. I really think it helps to believe that. Sometimes, there is anger because they are gone, and that is okay, too. One day, you will look back with love, and the pain won't be so bad. For every step forward, there may be two back, but that's okay too. At least it was a step forward. They will start to happen more often. Good luck, sorry for your loss, and keep on keepin' on.

Recover ! normal !!
Life is ever forward moving, you live with and learn to adjust too....
There is no default, not with love and emotions. Wisdom, is an accumulation of experiences maturely reflected back upon, and advise from such is no more than a pointer, an optional sign posted direction. Given all people and places are only as relevant as relative situations will have them.

You will never be "normal" again, life as you knew it has changed forever. You will be happy again eventually and learn to move on because you have no other choice but to. Time heals some pain but it is always hard. Remember the good times, talk to them daily, I do, and it is comforting to know they are still around me just in a different way. Good luck.

As long as it takes. I don't believe there's a time limit. People grieve in their own way. It has a certain pattern, things a person must go through, to grieve, in a healthy way. I don't think you will ever forget them, but it wont be as strong.

Time lessens the pain. Around 2 years, you should feel more normal & can start to look for a new relationship.

scientifically speaking, somewhere between 6 months to 2 years to go through the stages of grieving. It varies for the different levels of love you have and the different kind of love...ie, death of a parent, death of a sibling, death of a fiance, death of a spouse, death of a best friend etc...Good luck. If this is for you, I am sorry for your loss.
