Great love deserves grief
The holidays are over. Spring is warming up everywhere. The memories of a long cold winter and losing someone or something can be as overwhelming as it was all winter. Memories are precious and the feelings they bring whether happy or sad are valuable as well. No you're not going crazy. You're grieving. Great love deserves great grief. It takes a while to grieve. Sometimes a long while to go through all the range of thoughts and emotions that create lasting memories and a love that we carry with us into the future. Clients are often surprised when I encourage them to take the love they had for someone and bring it with them into their future. I don't think we're supposed to leave it all behind and just "get over it". Loving changes us and we take that change into our future. We are different because we have loved. Don't leave all that behind. Bring who you are, memories and all, into a new future.
