Im just curious for most people when does the crying stop? I know there will always be times but when could you make it through the day without crying?

Hi,
When my father died I cried daily for almost a year, I had a good cry but afterwards I felt better. I heard it's good to cry, it's all part of the grieving process, when you don't release your emontions is much worsse in the long run. My father has been gone 8 years now and I think of him everyday, he will always be a part of me, it odd because suddenly I will remember something from my childhood, something him and I had done together, good memories, those are what you hold on forever.

It will be two years this August that my dad died and I still cry daily and usually at night.. or if I think of something and see my daughter do something that he is missing out on or I think of things from the past I start to cry I dont know when it gets better but I dont think it ever will for me.

May 19, 2007 my dad died suddenly, and June 7, 2007 I lost my husband suddenly. My world was changed forever and I will never be the same. I really never had a chance to grieve mhy dad because 12 days later my husband died. He wasn't sick and died of sudden cardiac arrest at 51 years old. I lost my future and the two men that were special in my life. This Father's day weekend I cryed Sat and Sun and just hibernated. The pain isn't raw now--just an ache in my chest and occasional periods of semi panic. Today I cryed out loud that I can't do this anymore and it really hit me that my husband is never comming home. He was my future and now it is changed forever. The tears do slow down. My friend who lost her only child April 2007 told me that the grief never ends but the mourning does end. I have to trust her on that. I can't imagine that happening

It took me a year after my mother died to stop crying daily. There is something about going through a year of holidays, etc., without your loved one... kinda hard to explain, like, it feels like getting over a big hurdle once that first year is over.

Everyone is different, though.
