Generally, yes. But, my experience feels like more of a process. When someone I'm very attached to leaves, it's very painful -- with intense feelings of "missing" that person. So intense that I become pretty disfunctional. Not long afterward -- not long enough for comfort, anyway -- I'm like, "who?" No more missing, in other words.
