You may not have allowed yourself to grieve fully when it happened. Also, something may be going on now that is bringing all this up. A grief support group can be helpful in getting support and learning about what is going on with you.

Yes, you're normal. The grief process is different for everyone, especially when it comes to something as traumatic as what you went through. It's a very good thing that you're grieving your loss, and you can start to heal. Make sure you have someone supportive to talk to, and also make sure you don't obsess over it. It is a life-changing thing, but it shouldn't define you or change everything about you.
That is so sad, and I'm sorry you had to go through such an awful experience. Good luck in the future, I hope you can move on and be happy with your life. :-)

Grieving is different for everyone. If you still think of him on occasion and feel sad that he's gone then that's pretty normal. If you are locking yourself up in your home and not having relationships or a social life but spend all your time thinking about your lost love then it's not normal. I still cry for friends and family who have passed away, the pain of the loss fades a bit but it never goes away. Do see a therapist to talk through your feelings if you feel that your grieving is too much.

Well it depends upon how you define grieving. If you still feel sadness and a sense of depression at his loss, I would say that is absolutely normal. The pain and sadness from loosing a loved one never really goes away. But if you are still experiencing such sadness or weeping that it interferes with your daily life and routine functioning (work, school, etc.) you may want to consider getting some counseling or joining a support group.

I was 17 when my brother killed himself (I am now 41), and yes I still morn his death. Have you been morning right along, because it is also common to repress an event if you find it very painful and re visit it later in life. If it bothers you you should go to a psychiatrist, they will be able to talk you through the grief and may be able to help you deal with it better.

Sounds normal to me. It's all a part of the grieving process
