Dear Ann Cannon • I have a good friend who lost her brother two years ago. She doesn’t seem to be getting over his death. Is it possible for someone to get “stuck” in their grief? How can I help her do to move on? It doesn’t seem to me like she’s landed in a very emotionally healthy place.
Dear BFF • Thank you for your question. As it turns out, I’ve been thinking about this very issue recently.
OK. Grief is personal and the expression of grief is personal, too. Some people, depending upon both temperament and (frankly) the circumstances, can work through it relatively quickly.
