[After losing a loved one] you must with emotional energy and reinvest it in other relationships. Many people misunderstand this task and believe it means forgetting about their loved one. They believe that this would be dishonoring their loved one's memory. This task is simply a continuation of the first three tasks. It involves the process of allowing yourself to make relationships with others. It does not mean that you care any less about your loved one or that you will not keep your special memories.”

"Grief is different. Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life.”
~Joan Didion~

I don’t believe in goodbyes.
I don’t believe that the connections we have to people and things are temporary. That somewhere along the way they cease to exist, cease to carry meaning, cease to be something real.
Because no matter the time, the distance, the loss in our life, they will forever carry weight.
A goodbye implies that there is an end. And in human connections, in love, in life, there is no end.
Just a transference to something else—new love, new connections, new relationships, a rebirth.”

"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
(Terry Pratchett,Going Postal)
"My loved one is an eternal, immortal soul who continues to live in another dimension more beautiful than the one in which I currently exist.”
【Dealing With The Death Of A loved one】
Acceptance is not necessarily a permanent state, nor does it mark a return to happiness or your pre-loss state of mind. The death of your loved one has changed the circumstances of your world, and acceptance marks your understanding of this, as well as your willingness to move forward in life without them. Think of the loss as a tear in the fabric of your life: the pain will ease over time, but in some ways the loss may always be with you.”

"It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you’ve accepted that someone is out of your life, that you’ve grieved and it’s over, and then bam. One little thing and you feel like you’ve lost that person all over again.”
【Rachel Hawkins Demonglass】
"No truth can cure the sorrow we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see it through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning.”
【Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood】
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through.”
【 Billie Holiday , "I'll Be Seeing You"】
"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
