My niece was stillborn 2.5 years ago, and I still think of her daily. Think what could have been, what should have been. Even last night at the checkout at Woolies, I heard them playing a song that was played at her funeral and I teared up. So I can't even imagine what my sister is going through (as it was her child).
I don't think you can put a time limit on grief, I think its more that one day you will realise that you haven't had a cry that day, or that week, or that month. You'll never forget - and you'll always have little reminders that make you upset, but I like those moments as it reminds me that she will always live on in our hearts.
Be kind to yourself, give yourself time to grieve and if you can, look to your family for support after all thats what families are for. My family really helped me when we lost our son Riley in March this year, without them i don't know what i would have done. And there are plenty of lovely ladies here that you can talk to if you want to.
Big hugs hun
