Even if it is someone close.
Yesterday I spoke to someone who told me that an acquaintance of ours can't have a very joyful Christmas because her father died one of these days (between Christmas and New Year's Eve).
I said: "Oh, but that 2 years ago!"
And she said: "So, it was still very recently".
Do you grieve for 2 years?
I don't.
And you know what?
I don't think much about dead people either.
I don't agree we are 'honouring' them by thinking about them, and by showing devotion to them.
Furthermore, I don't expect people to act like that after I die..
If someone wants to honour me, may do it while I'm still alive.
After people die, I think it's over...
Everything becomes pointless...

Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time,Cookie. You're obviously a bit too young to have had a devastating loss in your own life to realize hoe much it can impact those who are left behind.Of course life goes on and of course death is the natural course of the great cycle of life.I would sggust that you take a somewhat less callous approach toward someone else's grieving process because frankly,it takes as long as it takes to start to heal.And just because someone dies doesn't mean that at the oddest moments,yes,even years later,we don't feel a little stab of loss.

This past January 29th i lost a good friend and when i heard of it, it was a tragic blow for me and his friends and his family and i started crying about it. And sometimes i still cry about it today. But in the end, all the suffering, mourning, pain and sadness will go away for good.

Some people never get over the loss of a loved one.

truly it depends on the person, and how close that person was to the person who died. the grieving process takes time and when it is for someone whom a person spent a lot of time with then it is even longer.

Some people live with the pain of losing someone they love for the rest of their lives. You only make yourself seem cold and heartless and without compassion.

Obviously, you have never had someone close to you pass away. You will never fully understand until you experience that loss, especially one of your parents.

Sounds to me that you have yet to lose someone close to you.
I hope you never have to eat your words.
