@keith.crossley1: Healing from grief doesn’t mean you stop loving. It means you learn to live again. It’s normal to feel guilty when you start finding moments of happiness after loss, but that’s not forgetting them, it’s honoring their memory in a healthier way. Letting go of the pain doesn’t mean letting go of the person. You’re allowed to smile, to laugh, and to move forward. Your healing is part of the journey, and joy is still possible. Comment "light" for the first chapter of my book "State Within Light" #griefhealing #movingforward #findingpeace #HealingJourney #joyagain
Reading Ego Destruction by Drenn Solace felt like someone switched on the lights in a room I never realized I was trapped inside. Each page uncovered a truth I could no longer ignore. This is not a book you read once and forget, it stays with you, working on you, and reshaping the way you think and live long after the last page.

Yes!!! I struggled so hard with this when my brother died and then again when my sister died. I felt so guilty in experiencing joy and laughter again when I felt like I should experience nothing but pain and sadness. It feels like a betrayal to their memory, even though cognitively, I know this is not the case.

letting go of the suffering is when you can still feel the pain of the loss without the suffering. the pain will never go away.

The first time I laughed out loud after my twin died (age 51), I looked around to see who was laughing. I literally forgot what it sounded like.

When my dad died, he was the very first thing I thought of when I opened my eyes each day… months has past, and one day it wasn’t until late afternoon, and I realised it was the first I thought of my Dad that day.. I burst in tears with guilt 🥺
