How often do people who vanish come back?

Statistically speaking, how long does it usually take before you can pretty much accept that they aren't coming back?

Thank you.

I've noticed it usually either takes people about a week or two to decide that someone is actually gone and start moving on. Like it's either a week or two, or it's months/years/never.

That's probably right. I know some people have come back faster, but not that many. We're not that lucky.

I don't think I believe in luck.

I'm sorry about the people you've lost.

Thanks.

Your friend might still come back. Don't assume they won't.

She was only here for a month. The odds aren't good.

Oh. I'm sorry. That's almost worse than not having someone here at all.
