When we lose a loved one, we move on with our lives. We have no other choice. There is nothing wrong with the phrase "move on". And in most cases we know our loved one would have wanted us to. They certainly wouldn't want us to live in misery. I know if I passed away and somehow I could see that my loved one cannot go on with their life, it would break my heart.

@Sojournersoul I think grief is hard, and I bristled a few times where I probably should not have.
Honestly, you lose your mind a bit in grief.

@Justmeraeagain Oh, that's understandable. I'm also grieving right now and I've had to give people the benefit of the doubt also. And I would have for them, as well. Just wanted to support your right to phrase things how you want. It's your life and your feelings.
It's just a phrase.. I know what you mean, you've no choice but to go forward without his presence... He's not Earth side so you have to move on.
People may be touchy about it as that phrase is commonly used nowadays to be rudely dismissive.. But I know that you are not doing that

@AbsolutelyFabulous words and phrases change all the time it's hard to keep up with what is acceptable and what is now considered wrong .

No doubt.
I also noticed that while I was angry and grieving, I didn't have to deal with the regular world.
But the world doesn't go away.
Eventually I had to deal with it.

@CurrentName It just piled up around me, but there was also a kind of protection in the solitude.

Yes.
A cave of grief that people eventually stayed away from.
And I was fine with it.
