Answers:
As long as you need to!.
That is so terrible!. I'm sorry!.
I lost my father and had a good year of intense mourning and temporary depression!.
No one can really say 'oh give it a few months then move on'!.
In time you'll still be sad but the pain won't hurt as much!.
I still miss my dad and get sad, but it doesn't hurt as much as it used to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no way to accurately answer that question because every person is different!. And I know this doesn't even BEGIN to compare to the sadness you feel, but my friend lost her dog almost 9 months ago and she still carries around his ball!. Try to do your daily routine as normally as possible, that helped me when my grandfather died!. I hope you feel better!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

As long as you need it to, you are not only mourning for your grandchild but also you are feeling sad for you daughter!. It's better to let all the emotions out than hold them in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
