I've heard it said that you will grieve for one month for every year you were close to someone. It certainly seemed to fit when Bruce died. I was very lucky in my supervisor at the time. She actually extended my contract 2 weeks to make sure I still had employment when I got back from the funeral. I've spoken to other people who had problems when a step-parent died.
It is said that the world at large has such a limited definition of family. My *family* is mostly not related to me by blood.
