Whether happy or sad, life-changing events are stressful and take time to recover from. And it's true that the situation depends. My father passed away when I was a young adult. I miss him everyday, but I recovered from the grief easily. However, later it took almost six years to bounce back from the stress and anxiety of moving to a new town and starting a new job. I didn't feel normal again until I made changes that I was OK with. Don't dismiss the possible need for therapy and/or medication. Sometimes finding a way to be OK with the situation takes a professional's help. And I am a firm believer that chronic stress and/or anxiety cause depression and anxiety disorders. Stress changes the brain's chemistry -- it makes you feel not like yourself -- so it's logical that medication may be needed to balance that chemistry once again. Good Luck!

That depends on the issue. Everyone reacts differently to situations, people who loose a child never get their own personality back because a part of it goes when the child dies. There is no set time for anyone, it depends more on the personality of the individual.

well, you become forever changed so it will take a while to recognize the "new and improved you" the natural feeling, I'm wondering if you are feeling the "disconnect" feeling... please go to group therapy it helps to chip away at that feeling the more people at different stages of that talk about their sadness... find a group that matches your traumatic experience...
I know this sounds stupid... but I got a hobby and all of a sudden, I was back in the "connect" again. I don't know how that works but it just does.

It depends individualy and yes, no one can forget about it and i dont see we have to forget it.Why not just take it as a lesson. For me, when my dad got into an accident, it took me a few months to overcome the feelings. It just how fast we can adapt to the changes mentally.

It depends on the person and the situation.
But I hope things look up soon for you.
