After the break up how long do you...

GRIEVE?
I was in a physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive relationship for 6 months which ended 2/16/08. I am sad and relieved it is done but now how long do I grieve? I know I need to focus on myself and anything that makes me happy...
Can anyone tell me from their own experience how long it is normal/average to grieve?




Grief is different for every person. It depends on a lot of factors - how long you were together, how much you embrace your feelings and/or how you repress them.
Hi Carrie,
Thank you... I am willing. Although it has only been a few days I feel like I can move on and more importantly WANT TO move on...
Is it bad that I have not cried ONCE? I am a very emotional person and I think that I might somewhat be repressing my feelings. I have never been one to write a journal but I think posting here will surely help with my grieving/healing process...
Again thank you!
I'm so glad to hear it's finally over!!!
Hi Sheri,
Thank you for the post... This was the first time I was in a relationship that was abusive. Like I previously stated... for now I am not feeling anything too deeply. I have my moments of sadness when I start to remember the good times... I am not sure if I am dealing with the break up appropriately but all I know is that I am feeling GOOD for the first time in MONTHS!
