“You’re now re-entering your reality. It’s a part of your life. You learn new ways to live your current reality. You start molding and adjusting to your new life. You try to live in this new norm where you’re okay with missing the deceased one. You might try to resist and not accept the new norm. But eventually, through bits and pieces, you start accepting. You come to terms with the fact that your loved one is not going to come back. You cannot maintain your past life, but you start learning and growing in this new life where you move forward along with your deceased one in your mind, heart, and soul.”
