No you will get over a divorce in time but if your loved one was to die you will always feel the pain you never get over the death of a loved one you just learn to live with it and will miss them your whole life.

Okay, if you're asking if killing your spouse is better than divorce, I have to tell you divorce isn't a criminal offense. It may feel like it, but it's not.
If you're asking which is harder to get over...well, depends on the person and the circumstances..but generally, you get over a divorce much faster than the death of a spouse. Although, the stages of grief are about the same for both.
And, like it or not, you'll go through some mourning period even with divorce. It'll usually be quicker, but it'll probably be there.

A divorce is usually done by choice. Losing a loved one through death isn't something we have much control over. With a divorce, there's a sense that life will return (somewhat) to normal. With a death of a loved one, there's a sense of life never being the same.

Divorce is an end to a journey. Where as Death, is the END of all journies !!! With Divorce, you can move on, find better things, do things differently perhaps, but death is an eternal absence. And death affects so many more people in the "family circle".

The stages of grief are identical for both. However, with divorce there is a difference....the final stage of acceptance can take much longer because the person is still alive and thus I beleive can be more difficult to accept. When someone passes, they are gone forever...nothing we can do about it...divorce..there is a longer sense of wondering, questioning...hope this makes sense.

If you are talking about a mate you love/loved, I would say they are about the same, I've been through both. Both require a grieving process. With the death of a marriage, you can feel sad that you failed and are on your own. When you lose someone you love to death, the feelings are pretty much the same.

at least its not a choice; however divorce is mourned just as deeply.

In a way I think it is because you don't have to accept any guilt.
