Five times in fewer years, Ive watched a friend cope with the death of a child. Twice in the past 6 months. And Ive seen these people be told that they need to move on, that they cant grieve forever, that they need to think of their other children and find some way to get over it. And you know what? I totally agree. So I have come up with a foolproof way to know *exactly* when youre supposed to stop grieving a death and get over it. You can apply this to any death, but its especially relevant for children. It is time to move on and stop grieving when you have stopped loving someone. Once you dont love them anymore, pack that shit up and get on with life. So, very simple, lets figure out how long youre allowed to love someone. How long can you love your parents? Can you believe there are still people loving their parents at 60 years old? Excessive, if you ask me. You really dont need them anymore once your kids start kindergarten, so you can go ahead and get that one over with in short order. What about your children, how long can you love your children? Even people who have sent them off to college and only hear from them when they need money for some dumb reason still love their children. Ludicrous. Why would you still love a kid that doesnt even live with you anymore? A spouse... thats an easy one. Divorce is common, so just poll ten friends, and average the length of their marriages. Then subtract the length of your marriage from that average. If you get a negative number, stop grieving immediately, you dont need to love that person any longer. If you get a positive number, then you have a good, clear knowledge of when youre going to get over it. I welcome anyone to employ these simple truths. Its easy to get on with life, you just need to stop loving the dead person! Once youve stopped loving them, then no need to grieve any longer! Grief is just misplaced love, so stop the love, and the grief will die away naturally. Like cutting the blood supply to a tumor. So, how long will you love your children? -Estelle
