Sometimes it helps a person who has lost some close to them, if they realize how long they have been grieving, and think about how much longer they might be grieving in the future.

It helped me to start planning for a time when I would no longer be mourning. When writing to a friend about their loss, one might want to ask the friend about the time that they have been grieving.
