Quote:Have you ever had to let go of people you truly loved?Yes.
Quote:How did you deal with the pain?I experience it, I don't "deal with it" - I sometimes wonder what people even mean when they say that. If I can ever say "I dealt with it" I'll wonder about myself, what's happened to me, where I went.
Quote:How did you move on?I haven't - not from that loss or that pain..but as far as "moving on with life" is concerned, what choice do we have? The clock doesn't stop for anguish. I wake up and I go through my day, every time I think about them it wrenches me into a knot - and then the day starts all over again...and either they come to mind or they don't. IDK, maybe that sounds bleak, maybe it is - but if so..........what can be done, and if something could be done, would I want to do it? I'll just suggest that you don't need to explain it, and they never need to have an explanation (and neither do you) - all of that is ultimately irrelevant. Keep waking up, keep living out your day - there is no alternative and that's fine...and if it isn't, are you really empowered to change that situation? I don't know the details of your situation, but I'd say -probably not-. You're going to be okay anyway though Losty. If you forget that, just ask me and I'll remind you, eh?
