Remember, that people grief in different ways. And it’s not always about the time after the event that helps, but knowing that someone else acknowledges their struggle(s) after that the event. At least, that was true for me after I lost one of my good friends years ago to suicide.
And now… I’m getting teary eyed just thinking about him and that time period of my life. Like @Artaca@lemdro.id said above… “It gets easier, but never easy.” It’s 100% true. All these years later and I still have days where he comes to mind. And while a lot of the heartache has surpassed, I still have moments of sadness and rare blip moment where I grief over it for a short time.
Anyway… I’m starting to make this too much about me I think.
I’d encourage you to find a way to show that you’re there for her if and when she needs a moment or a person. It goes a long way.
