[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will you share your experience with me?

I don’t ever expect to “get over” losing my family member who is/was so dear to me. I just don’t know at what point will the grief no longer be the tears springing to my eyes, steal my breath, send me into deep sadness stage? Some days I feel like I can’t even function with everyday living. I miss them so much and cannot believe my life no longer has them in it.

I know other’s journeys are different and I’m not the first person to mourn so deeply. I just want to know that I will come out of this dark forest eventually. [/quote]

For me, it took about 5 years. When I lost both of my parents at the same time, it felt like a deep gash on my soul, an empty void that will never be filled. At times it felt like my own life didn't even matter, nor my children who are still dependent on me. The what if you were still here/what would you be doing now plagued me. I cried almost every day, at the oddest times and the most random thing/experience triggered me.  It won't ever be the same, OP, but try to make a conscientious choice to slowly pull yourself out of the murk. It will get better, promise.
