109 - Remembering your loved one is normal
Sometimes we are surprised when simple things remind us of our loved one. And remind us of our loss.
But what if these moments aren’t because something is wrong with us (I mean other than the main thing that’s wrong.)
The answer to these sudden reminders is that there isn’t anything wrong with us. There isn’t anything to fix. There isn’t anything broken with our response, just with our heart.
Get your coffee or tea and sit with me for a bit.
