Grief is a process that can take a very long time for some people. There is no set time frame. Everyone is different and comes to this problem in their own way.
You do not say what you are grieving, or if it is even you that is grieving.
If it is a lost love, my recommendation is to put away all triggers for sadness for a period of time so that you are not constantly reminded of hurtful things. If any are precious you can put them in a box and get to them later when you're ready.
Keep yourself busy so that you do not brood or drown in recriminations. Choose a hobby that gets you out with others, or that helps you exercise. Both those can be mood lifters.
If you are mourning the death of someone, there are support groups where people can help you with the process, tell you what's normal, and lift you up with shared experiences. It can help to do something in honor of the person, such as volunteer or organize a fund-raiser to create a scholarship in their name.
If you feel like you just can't go on living, I would seek a professional to help. You may be suffering from depression and that can be treated if so.

You didn't actually specify what you were grieving over, so if it was a spouse or someone special in your life. Then there is no set limit, you will go through a process where you may grieve, get angry and grieve some more. But time heals all wounds. And that person will always be with you in spirit and in your heart. It's okay to grieve, and then comes a time you need to move on with your life. You are the only one who will know.

You grieve or mourn as long as you need to. You will eventually come out of it and be able to move on with your life. I'm not sure who you are grieving over but if it is a love than you will take some time to be able to love again and no one can give an exact amount of time. because its' different for everyone. Just try to remember the good things that you had together and that you will meet again someday and that there will be no more pain and suffering for the one you lost.
God bless you and things will look brighter for you in the future.

There is no specific time to grieve. You grieve until the memory fades and you feel better. It can take years but don't let grieve stop you from going forward with your life ok. Good Luck to you .

It's different for everyone....and there really is no wrong or right length of time to grieve for. But it can be a very bad thing to let the grief take over your life, so that it stops you from being able to experience new good things.

grieve is not based on a time. it depends on how close you were to that special someone. the connection that you both had. if it's your mom then you will for a really long time and if it's someone like a wife or girlfriend that you love dearly you will grieve for a really long time. but there is not specific time for someone to grieve. i hope this has helped.

There is no set time, everybody is different and it depends who you have lost and what memories are still clear in your mind. Some people never stop grieving but still manage to get on with their own lives. Sorry to hear if you have lost somebody dear to you. People deal with grief in different ways, doesn't mean to say they don't grieve.

Most people grieve as long as necessary, I think the grief is always there, but comes and goes. Around holidays it is usually worse, because of the memories..the sadness and the loss of never sharing with that person again.
You must have compassion for the one left behind,,, they never do recover , they just hide it......

As long as you may need, (I don't know why you are grieving), but don't grieve to the point of depression.
