Sail Away and Moster, It’s nice to be appreciated!
Wasanelder, I’m sorry about your loss. Thanks for sharing your own feelings on the matter. It is complicated!
Good JW, I think it’s important to work through your feelings; burying them is generally not the healthiest approach as they are left unresolved, unexperienced. Grief is indeed a process. It takes time, and just when you think you’re over and done with it, something can trigger a memory and bring those emotions back to the surface.
JRK, Exquisite pain indeed. Thanks for sharing the Lou Reed song. I wasn’t familiar with that one!
