When do you ever stop crying?

24. The biggest loss I went through was with my mother, so it's not the same.

But the general principal might be.

Taking an antidepressant might just prolong the grieving process.

So my suggestion is to not fight the tears. Let them all out. Scream and holler if you have it in you. Take as much time as you need and don't try to hold yourself back.

Over time -- months -- you will still be crying, but the waves will gradually hit less hard. The peaks won't be as high. And the time between the waves will begin to lengthen.

The more you love someone, the more it's going to hurt to lose them. There's no getting around that.

Over time you will be able to see his picture without crying -- but that doesn't mean the loss won't hit you again when you aren't even expecting it. It's okay. The feelings won't really go away with a pill. They're just a sign of how much you loved him, and he loved you.
