The loss of someone close can be deeply distressing; some might get through such loss easily whilst some of us don't. There is no 'correct' way for us to grieve, but instead we each grieve the way [i]we[/i] find is right for us. But in either case, we grieve. Happy memories live with us along with, what might be, memories that aren't as easy to let go of. I can relate with that, I truly can.
I've gone through the first of two Anniversary losses; one past in February, with another loss is this December. It still stings, it hurts and memories are all that's left us, which reminds me of the Simon and Garfunkel song. 'Life goes on' seems to be considered a jerk reaction, a frame of mind that we each desperately want to reach; it's far from easy. Whilst the reality is that we go on after our loved ones leave us. Time truly is the great healer, time will make you strong and time creates our future memories. Life is a series of memories, it's how we cherish and manage them. The saddest songs can strengthen us.
This song seems to be rather sad, whilst it makes me consider life itself in always searching for a bright future, whilst seizing every day and grasping onto anything that can bring a smile; no matter how small. Maybe it might help you, too?

[b]'Old Friends'[/b]
Old Friends, old friends
Sat on their park bench
like bookends
newspaper blown through
the grass
Fall on the round toes
of the high shoes
of the old friends.
Old friends
Winter companions
The old men
Lost in their overcoats
Waiting for the suns.
The sounds of the city
Sifting through trees
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends
Can you imagine us
Years from today,
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy?
Old friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fear
[b]'Book Ends (Reprise)[/b]
Time it was
And what a time it was
It was . . .
A time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago . . . it must be . . .
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you
