Grieving starts at anytime no one really knows. There is no scientific research on when people start grieving.

Losing you best friend can be very difficult, especially when you have known them for a long time, or know them highly well. Grieving will probably start shortly after. Grieving is a natural process of letting them go.

Grief is something that is different for everyone. It comes and go. There's no right or wrong way to grieve.

Grief can take awhile to set in. Sometimes it may feel instant when you hear the news. Othertimes it might come in a wave of realization after seeing something that reminds you of your friend. Othertimes it's not until you connect the dots of the little signs that were there for some time. Regardless, it's a difficult time to get through when it happens, but you will get through it.

The grieving process starts the very second you have lost them. You may claim to not accept this.. But deep down you know. Your subconsious knows. Denial is very much part of the deal. But we cant start healing until we get over this. Accept.

The minute you lose them. If you don't know if you're grieving yet, you are probably still in the shock stage. Not being able to believe they are gone, or just not really feeling anything. Maybe you don't feel any different. You're grieving though.

Grieving is different for everyone it doesn't necessarily start at the time of passing. Grieving is a process which takes time especially after losing your best friend. I lost my best friend and the grieving wasn't a flood of tears which most people expect but just numbness. Not everyone's grieving is the same.

For some, grieving may be instant. For others, they may express shock over the loss and won't start grieving until a few days or even a week after. It all depends on the person and their level of grief.

Grieving is complicated. Sometimes grief hits right away, and sometimes, it comes like an aftershock, with significant delay. It could take weeks or months for you to feel the grief. Today we know that the "stages of grieving" aren't really a thing. You might feel nothing for a while and then - all of a sudden - feel everything at once. But that's normal. It's a part of being human. Just hold on.

Grief is a process beginning right after a loss - so even the shock or denial you may feel immediately after a loss is part of the grieving process. Feelings of grief come in waves of intensity, so it is completely normal to feel ok some days and then badly other days.
