This might seem like a strange question, but the answer is no. Grief takes as long as it takes; it has no deadline. The changing of seasons, the time of day, the day of the month, or even the weather make no difference to grief.

Grief doesn’t care who you are, what you look like, how old you are, whether you are rich or poor, old or young, male or female. Grief is grief and works in its own time.

I have heard people say, it is sunny today, and it is the summertime, so I think I am through with my tears and grief and ready to move on. That would be wonderful if it were true for everyone. However, grief has no boundaries and could care less about the weather.

Summertime can be a wonderful time, but often the activities and the trips you and your loved ones were planning were going to be in the summertime, and now you are alone or planning a trip........
