In the course of dealing with grief phases, I have found myself relying on memories as a comfort for the painful feelings of grief. I'm always grateful for having had my loved ones share their life with me. Even remembering not so great memories leads to being grateful. Life is more than good times and anger has a place in there too.
Time changes the way we perceive memories. I didn't realize that until The Captain passed away. Memories of my life with JR have changed through the years without me realizing that it was happening.
Time lessens grief, but it never takes it away. I have learned to be grateful for everything I have been blessed with, especially another day.
