How long should I expect to be grieving?

There is no right answer to this question. Grief is personal, and moments of sadness may come and go, often occurring when least expected.

Give yourself permission to grieve in your own way. No two people grieve the same way. It’s important, though, that if you believe you are grieving in ways that are not healthy to seek help. The hospice social worker should be able to help you find support if needed.
