Still not over her

[Steve.5]

As we were clearing out the bedroom I came across a old photo of mum, self & brother.
All of a sudden i broke down in tears, after she passed away in 2008 I thoght I had managed to eliminate my grief but no. it at all came flooding back.

Is this the norm guys

[ummmm]

Yep...for me anyway. My Dad died in 2008 and some days it suddenly hits me.

[tonyav]

Yes, it can come unexpectedly.

[baza]

yes it is normal, time moves on , memories stay with you, just think of the good times.

My Uncle died in 2005, I still well up every time I look at photos of him or talk about him. It is different for different people but it can stay with you for a long time.

My brother died 8 years ago. I sobbed the other day when I thought about him and my recently deceased nan.

I don't know how you define "the norm" but I'd say yes, it probably is. I lost my dear Mum just before Christmas last year and, for no reason at all, I broke down today thinking of her and how much I miss her. It catches you unawares some days .

Steve my mum died in 1998 and it still gets me sometimes.

My parents died thirteen and sixteen years ago; there are still times when things happen I desperately want to tell them.

Grief just changes over time.

My Wife of 51 years died only 3 weeks ago,still trying to do "Normal" things to help me get over it.

[ummmm]

Everhelpful, I'm so sorry, I didn't know - my sympathies to you ♥

I still miss my parents - my dad died in 1988 and my mum 9 years ago. There are still times when I'd like them to be here. It's quite natural to be sad.
