I think it depends on the nature of the thing you grieved. I’m still grieving the loss of my mother in 2010. It doesn’t hit me that often but sometimes I still cry. Now, grieving something like the loss of youth or an image of yourself is different. I grieved the loss of my hair but then I got over it.
Why does grief need a time-limit? What’s something you were grateful for for “too long”?
Grief doesn’t need a time limit, but if you wanted to stop grieving and you couldn’t, then I would say that you were grieving too long in the end.
