You're right Kodachrome

Time hasn't lessened the pain, but now there are times when memories are sweet, still painful, but sweet.

Thanks for dropping by

Time...

Time is the only thing that will make the pain lessen. Maybe it will fade, but chances are that you will just get used to living with the pain and you will go on....all in good time.

Thank you littlemspickles

It's a delicate balance, this throwing myself into things, I think. I'm realizing that I've shut my feelings away too much so when they surface, it's that much more painful. I'll take your advice and try and get more balance.

Thanks for stopping by

A way of coping that works for me...

is to throw myself into something else but still allow time to be sad, to grieve or be made. You have to let your emotions out once in a while or else it all bottles up. It just takes longer for some people than others.

Thanks Ca88andra

I think for me it will be a matter of coping rather than anything else. Some days I'm better at it than others.

Grief is a funny thing. It can take forever to "get over it", or sometimes never. I suppose each one of us finds a way of coping. Take care.

Well, I learned you don't "move on", you learn to live and carry it with you.

 It is over 5 years for me now, and it is only about now that I think I would like to be able to share my life again. Why can love not be passed on and lived with another I ask.?

Maybe, with somebody that would understand that I am also carrying a love to my death, but that doesn't stop me from loving just as fully again.

Jemms, Symphony

I wish there was a way to bundle up the pain we have and send it somewhere

it doesn't get better..I don't think!

I am sorry to say.....each time I dwell on my brother or sister it hurts like a knife stabbing me...even just thinknig about them hurts..

all I can do is carrying on talking about them and believeing they are still here but out of sight...and forever keep their memory alive by writing and writing and writing.....

Believe me, I wish I knew

Same here.

Daddy was alive in yet another dream last night.  Waking up hurt so much.
