Most people make the mistake of thinking that "time" will heal your pain. They are wronge because it's not the passing of time that counts, but what you do with that time.

Time Magazine says that it can take an average of 5-8 years to get your balance back after the loss of a loved one. It's hard to be on your own when there is an empty hole in your heart. But life does go on and although it will never be the same, you have to get your balance back. Enjoy your friends and family, because time spent with them will help you to heal.
