So much for the phrase in the oath that one takes before testifying: "The Truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing BUT the truth." Lawyers have so twisted this common sense meaning that you can only answer what they ask you and what is in their More..
I don't think that you can ever put a time limit on the grieving process. Sure things get better with time, but all it takes is a familair fragrance, photo, piece of clothing and you are back to square one.
I can't imagine the grief, the incredible sorrow which would come from the death of two grandsons and a daughter whose body has not yet been found. I am not sure of what is "properly grieving" means because the saddness that must come More..
