Is this stopping me from accepting his death?

[Anonymous]

My long-term partner died in a motorcycle accident 3 years ago. Every Sunday, I take take a chair a picnic and sit by his grave for hours just "talking to him". It does provide a level of comfort but a friend said it's just keeping my pain raw and stops me from living my life

Everyone handles grief differently. It may not be how your friend would handle it, but maybe it's what YOU need? Sometimes that is the case with what your friend said, but you say you get comfort from it, so it doesn't sound like that is the case for you (?). You can figure that out with time if it's "helpful" or not. Just remember, everyone's different. It might be what YOU need right now?

It's part of the grieving process.
It can take a while, then you will be able to move on.
If after a yearish if it doesn't get better it might be time to find a grief counselor

Have you being on a date since he passed on. ? Lot people get comfort going to grave I do it myself tell them everything going on in my life.

[Asker]

I haven't been on a date. I know I'm not ready for that. The way I feel right now, I never will be. I still miss and love my deceased partner so much 😕

Of course you are going to miss and care for them but you are young and only live once. He would want you to move on and be happy. And you will never forget him

I think it's preventing you from moving forward, yes.
