After someone dies, you may wonder whether you are supposed to start moving on. Looking at photos, talking about them, or thinking about them throughout the day can bring comfort, but it can also make you question whether you are holding on too tightly. Many people worry that if the sadness fades, the connection might fade too. Grief does not ask you to leave someone behind. Instead, it often becomes a process of learning how to carry their memory forward as your life continues.
