how long does it take for someone to get over the loss of her best friend who died of breast cancer?

Question:

she died nearly 3 years ago i find it hard to go to her grave i really miss her

Answers:
well it only natural ....she was your best friend... you may never get over the loss of your best friend..maybe if you pushed yourseld to go and talk to her...(that may sound kind of silly)
but doing that will help ease the pain of losing some one close to you.. trust me shes in a better place..

You'll always going to miss her, but hopefully one day you will be able to think of her and feel happy that she lived not sad that she died.

My mum lost her dad when she was 7, that's 40 years ago now and she was saying to me just yesterday that she will never get over it cos she'll always think "what if?..."

It's a sad situation but I hope things can improve for you soon.

I don't think anyone can truly get over a loss.
I know it sounds corny but time is the greatest healer. I think it helps to not shut her death out, because thinking about the happy times is saddening yes but it also makes you feel better to remember that she was happy and had a good life.
I'm sure that she would not want you to ever forget how close you were.

You shouldn't expect yourself to ever "get over it". She was your friend. You loved her. But over time, generally you should be able to talk about her more - you must be making progress or you wouldn't have listed your question even. Time does not "heal". It simply helps the wound to close, but the scar remains.

It's ok not to go to her grave. If you don't want to, don't. Think about the good things, shared experiences. Sometimes writing a letter to her will help.

If you still find you're struggling, going to a grief support group or counselor will give you help. There are a lot of books as well.

Be patient with yourself, and thankful that you had a best friend - many people are never gifted with such a relationship.

i always put an average of 6 years on it , though you never get over it you just learn to live with it , she doesn't want you to grieve you know .
