There is no actual time line for grief. Each person grieves differently.

There is no time table for it, that depends on the person, if they are working through it or stuffing it, what type of grief it is (death of a child or death of a friend).
The stages aren't something you go through in order and then you are over it. Usually, the stages may go in a different order and if one lasts for quite a while, then the person is stuck in that stage.
Counseling always helps, where you talk about how you are feeling, because this helps you to hear yourself. The counselor can see where you a stuck and possibly help you to move on.
What are you doing to help yourself? Are you trying to deal with the grief with unhealthy activities (drugs, alcohol, sex)? That will hold you back too because it isn't dealing with the issues, it is masking it for a short time. In the process you are making things much worse.
I suggest you seek out a counselor to discuss your grief so you can eventually move on.

I think it's different for everyone. My mother passed on in April of 2004. I no longer grieve as I did in the beginning, but I miss her every day. Since that time, I have experienced the loss of an aunt, two cousins, and just this past October 3, the death of one of my sisters who was only 53 years old. That was very hard. Some days are better than others. We heal, but we never stop missing them.

It is really different from person to person. THe important thing is to just allow yourself the time to heal. Our hearts have a different healing time then our brains.
