How have others coped with this? When does is truly get to where you just don’t all of a sudden get punched in the face with the grief? A year? 2 years?

3 months is a short period of time, I would allow at least 6 months before I even thought twice about wondering if this is normal.

My mom and dad have been gone now 26 and 28 years respectively, and I think about them daily, and think of the good memories I have of them. I think that's quite normal for those who had loving, supportive parents.
