008 The Truth About the Timeline of Grief

How long should grief last? For some people, 12 months may still feel as fresh as the first day. For others, a month may feel like everything happened a lifetime ago.

A lot of people are shocked by how different the stages of grief can look like. But what every widow learns to understand is that grief takes work. It's not something that just goes away on its own.
