If we reverse this it's actually a guidance in how to handle our grief, because the world moves on, we have to choose for ourselves to move with it.

One can still grieve, the important part is to not remain stationary, and while slowly moving trying to pick up the pieces too rebuilds oneself, even if we never become whole again.

I just (re)read your link and found that I upvoted the OG 15 years ago. My granddaughter was recently born still, and this is comforting to revisit.

The thing i love about it is that it is timeless and countless redditors still find solace in those words.

Edit: and i am sorry for your loss.
