How long does grief last?

There is no set timeline for grief and anyone who tells you to 'move on' or 'get over it' is underestimating and misunderstanding the weight of loss.

That said, the length of your grieving process depends on what kind of grief you're experiencing.
  • Uncomplicated grief: Sometimes referred to as 'normal grief', most of the symptoms - including the five stages below - happen within the first two years of loss.
  • Complicated grief: This type of profound, intense grief extends for a prolonged period of time and can be debilitating.

How to deal with the grieving process

While grieving a loss is an inevitable part of life, there are ways to help cope with the pain, come to terms with your grief, and eventually, find a way to pick up the pieces and move on with your life.
  1. Acknowledge your pain.
  2. Accept that grief can trigger many different and unexpected emotions out of the blue.
  3. Understand that your grieving process will be unique to you.
  4. Seek out face-to-face support from people who care about you.
  5. Support yourself emotionally by taking care of yourself physically.
  6. Recognise the difference between grief and depression.
