It may be hard to believe but its an actual survey. People (cant remember how many) were asked how long should it take for a grieving parent(of an baby) to "get over it" and move on with their life? The average answer was a day and a half! Is that not the most insane thing youve ever heard? I know first hand how untrue this is.

Why would I make up such crazy bs? Search the internet, I was told by my grief counselor.

The survey respondants were not grieving parents. Its what OTHERS think.

The survey only proves that some need to be put in the trash because their value is below zero. Survey that is not so much the people. People do not understand what they have not experiences. the loss of a child or anyone we care about takes time. the time it takes depends on the persons ability to adapt to the changes. A parent learns to move on but the pain never truly goes away.

That is ridiculous,I don't think I would ever get over it!I understand "life goes on",but that's the hardest thing anyone would ever have to endure,I just lost my older brother in April,and my father I'm sure thinks about constantly,he barley makes it through a day w/ out breaking down,not that my brother was a baby he was 38,but he's my dad's baby no matter how old he is....anyway that is the most insane thing i ever heard.Most people I think would grieve for the rest of their lives...

You're "grief counselor" is confused. S/he is probably talking about the various stages of grief... and the first stage - denial - is the quickest to 'accept' because death is real. However, you never get over the loss of a loved one... ever. The pain diminishes, but not the memory or the love you feel. I lost my baby when I was seven months pregnant back in the summer of 1988. I haven't forgotten him and I never "got over it." I still think of him and wonder what if...

Oh please where are you getting these results? The Weekly World News?
You, my dear, need a new grief counselor. He/she is throwing false statistics at you and for what? To make you feel like the whole world is against you. So you go around thinking that no one who has ever lost a child just thinks its no big deal. That is ridiculous, the worst thing I've ever heard and you are really, dangerously naive to believe it.

WOW. That is a VERY short time to get over a death. Even if that IS true, that's not right. It's sad. It's a very sad thing when a brand new human is brought into the world, and then dies.

Totaly not true. Although every single human being will have their own greiving time process....the average is definetly not that short. I don't believe a parent could ever "get over" a child this fast

You're given 3 days of leave for the death of an immediate family member by law for work... Hey, if that's all they allow, well, we must be able to function by the end of those 3 days...

I don't believe it. You can't put a time limit on grief. For each person it's different.
