More of an answer: You survive by keeping going. By going with the flow of it. You can’t, “get over” grief and loss, or even really move away from it. It’ll always be there, but just change from day to day or week to week, month to month or even year to year. You can be with it, you can cope and deal with it, you can live with it.
