when a parent dies it not only makes you confront their mortality but one's own. it also makes you realize that no matter how much you wished your relationship could have been more ____ (fill in the blank however you wish) you still miss them and wish they would still be on this earth.
the death of a parent means your nuclear family is never going to be the same. you have become part of a club that you never wanted to join in the first place. the club of those who have lost a parent.

Unfortunately, there is no biological or medical outline to determine how long, or by what methods one must endure their grief before they can say... perform an action as passive as looking at a picture of their diseased and not be upset. For some people, it may take months, others can take years to complete the grieving process.
I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor, and I would like to express my deepest condolences for your loss.
thank you so much avi.
I am so sorry to read about your loss...my husband lost his beloved mother this year. We are an older couple, and although she had lived a wonderful life, she had been ok and we were surprised. No matter how old one is, no matter how long our loved one has lived,The loss is great.
professionally I have worked with grief, (therapist/social worker) personally I have experienced grief.... grief is its own master..we can pretend to ignor...be "over it" and it will expect it's due....
grief is a part of the human experience.....it is...
I wish you peace....and calm even if there are tears.
Karen
