Cis: When’s It Time To Quit Grieving?

So, is it too soon? When will you know it is ok? Will people, friends and family understand? Will they understand that you have been wound up in sickness and death, lost of love? Will they understand you are starting to feel free again. And is that bad? How long do they think you should grieve? How long would they grieve? Do they understand that you started grieving in private when you and your spouse found out that their illness was terminal? Don't they understand that you still love your spouse? You still miss them with all your heart, but you also know you have to go on with life? It isn't about sex, it is about companionship/Cis, Simple Mind. More here.

Question: When do you think it's time for a spouse to quit grieving for a deceased partner?
