Neko1,

Don't ever apologize for needing to vent. We're your friends and are here for you, 24/7! If you ever need to vent, this is the place .

No one can put a time limit on the grief process. Everyone is different and does it at their own pace. My Dad has been gone 6 and 1/2 years and I still have this "ache" in my heart everytime I think of him.

Your heart will tell you. Listen to it. And hang in there.
