i recently lost a classmate in a tragic car accident. the whole school community is grieving, and i know we will never be the same. my question is how long does the grieving process last and when will the community be back to somwhat normal?

That is going to vary for each person. But it will take a while for things to get somewhat normal. But remember, it's ok to go on and enjoy life. You will never forget the memory of your friend. i am sorry for your loss.

The process varies from different people. With some people it may take a long time while others can grieve and move on with there lives easily. The community will probably take time to get back to what you consider normal but it will never completely be the same.

Yes, you will eventually feel better. I can't tell you how long this will take. For each individual, the grieving process is different. What you are doing right now is good. Talk about it, ask questions, let your feelings and questions be known, seek help. All of these actions will help you to heal. In terms of life returning to "normal", things will never be exactly the same. I'm not going to lie to you. But things do get much better and you will be able to smile again and talk about your classmate without crying or feeling bad. Give it time, my friend. You'll see. My prayers are with you.
Peace

I am so sorry for your loss and for the pain you and your classmates are going through... Grief is a personal thing. Each person grieves differently and time is the only thing that can help heal (you won't ever forget) the pain. Just be sure that if you don't seem to be able to overcome the despondent feelings (or a classmate doesn't seem to be able to come out of it) that you SPEAK to someone that can help...
again.. my condolences on your great loss.

Yes, you will feel better as time goes on. My younger brother passed away 3 years ago. I still miss him very much but, I know that everyone must leave this earth. Everyone will suffer this type of loss. Now, you can be there for someone else going through this grief. I am sorry about your loss. God bless you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's different for everyone. You will feel better eventually, but right now the hurt is so new. But it is important to get the feelings out and either share them with others, or write them down. Remember all the wonderful things about this person. Keeping their memory alive means alot.
God Bless:)

greving will last at the most 5 years, but for the community to be back to the way it was, it will take a lot longer

Grief takes a while to get over. It can take months to years to get over.
