I always asked myself the same question. “How long will it hurt?” The only answer I can give you is to care for and love yourself until it doesn’t. There’s no clock on it. Meditate, journal, treat yourself to a new outfit, make yourself or order a nice meal. Be as kind to yourself as you can. Sleep as much as feels good. You’re healing from a wound. Emotional wounds are just as real to your body as the physical ones. Give yourself time to heal.

This didn’t happen to me. But i lost a pet during covid. One of the things that is helping me is noting. It’s the practice of looking at what pops into your brain and noting whether it is a thought or feeling instead of fighting it and trying to push it away. It doesn’t matter which, just stepping outside of it helps reduce its intensity and lets you refocus on whatever you were doing before. It’s helped with my grief and anxiety. Sometimes grieving isn’t about just the one thing you’re actively grieving. Especially this year. But to answer your question it’s been two months, my grief is much more manageable but it’s still there. I don’t think you can put a timeline on it. Just give yourself some grace. You don’t have to be better on X day just because someone else was. But it will get better. That’s my advice from all my previous breakups and losses. Hope that helps and love to you.

Thank you

The based salary is low $120k. Firm is in Tx. I’d love to hear your comments.

Any similar experience to share?
