When is grief the worst?

Grief often intensifies around specific times: the first year of milestones (birthday, holiday, anniversary), the anniversary of the death, and unexpected triggers like songs or smells. Many people report that the second year can be harder than the first, as shock has worn off and the loss becomes more real. Lovon is here for all of it, including the unexpected waves that arrive long after others expect you to have moved on.
