I dunno I always feel people forget about they’re loved ones after like 5 years or so but with me I remember every pet who passed away, every loved one that passed away. for instance the ones that hit me the most to this day is my pet dog Bruce who died 7 years ago and I won’t ever forget the last glimpse I saw of his face. Another one which hurts me talking about is my Nan who died an awful death and she died 11 years in October. Sometimes when I fall asleep I see them both together and I wake up totally upset and I know it sounds cringe but I sometimes hug the photo frame of my dog Bruce.
I think a lot of people hide it because they feel like we're all supposed to get over it, but I've known a bunch of people who felt their grief intensely forever.
I've never lost anyone particularly close to me, so I don't know how I'll personally react. When my grandparents died I saw it as a mercy after what they'd been through. I might be naturally cold hearted about death though.
There's nothing embarrassing about doing whatever brings you comfort when you need it. My dog is relatively old and I'm sure I'll miss him like hell when he goes.
