There are cultures (Jewish?) that allow or encourage a year's grieving before suggesting that it's time to give it a rest.
As you get older there are more and more people you once knew who are now dead.
I don't know if grief always has to be a lonely experience. Maybe there are people who can share it, but it has always been a lonely experience for me.
So maybe the sense of missing is disabling, lonely and painful, but still, I think it is one of the best things about us.
