Grief does weird things to your mind

It brings back some really painful memories from the past. Things I honestly thought I had made peace with and was finally okay with. But now it hurts all over again, just like it did years ago. And the hardest part is knowing there’s nothing I can do about it. I can’t change what happened, I can’t fix it, and I can’t make the pain go away. I just have to sit here and feel it all over again.

I think that’s why people put flowers on graves. It’s a way of acknowledging that life and beauty continue and represents new growth.

After a loss, we DO think about how we could have done better, or other things that made us feel we didn’t count.

It’s all filed in the hurt/angry/abandoned folder in our brain. It may or may not help us in the future. Mostly it depends on how we view it, as injury or survival.
