The loss of a loved one turns our life upside down. Our world as we know it has changed, and those changes require that we in turn adjust to a new “normal.” Accepting loss and moving forward can create anxiety for many people. They assume that letting go means forgetting the person and denying that the relationship ever existed. Nothing could be further from the truth. Letting go means releasing the sorrow but cherishing the memories that you shared together and recalling the joy that each of you brought to the relationship.
