Thread: Ramadan: How long does it normally take a person to recover from the death of a friend?

Salam.In line with hadith of Muhammad pbuh that the condolence period is maximum for only 3 days and we are not allowed to cry loudly.It means we should recover from the the death of anyone not more than 3 days We should accept our beloved person's absence as qadar or taqdir which is decided by Allah.All humans and another creatures who are alive will die.We could not delay,pos
phone or make it faster than the decision of Allah. just for only one second All muslims should say inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi roji'un if we know someone died.It means that we came from Allah and we will come back to Allah.Allah has created a person from soil (sperms and egg cells) and we will come back into soil again when we died and burried..

When someone dies I believe we are suddenly reminded about the circle of life. Like you say it varies from person to person so I will do my best to give you an estimate.
if she seems like she can't accept the person's absence I think that when the condolences stop coming, people stop talking about the person and he/she finds his/herself alone that's when the process of accepting really starts. it took me almost 5 years to accept my late husband's death but thanks to Allah and Islam I was able to. I moved on with my life, remarried but I will never forget him. You need to remind your friend that even thou everything comes from Allah it is normal to feel sad. Also remind him/her that you are there for him/her to talk, pray or whatever will make him/her feel better. Many times as we mourn we don't need someone to tell us how beautiful life is or how we must accept death; we need someone that will sit next to us and quietly hold our hand while we let it all out. Good luck to your friend, I will keep him/her in my prayers.
