Accepting the loss of a loved one is commonly misconstrued with the feeling of being , "completely fine" or "alright". At this point, you have finally come to terms with the reality of the situation and have accepted this new reality as the permanent one. We find ourselves adapting the world in which our loved when is no longer physically apart of. Learning to live in this new environment can be extremely uncomfortable. You may find yourself trying to live as if nothing happened, the way life was before their passing. Eventually, pieces of acceptance will guide you to readjusting and adapting. Once you begin to find peace and live your life again, you may feel as if you are betraying your loved one. You cannot ever replace what has been lost, but you can always seek new connections, relationships, and inter-dependencies. It is only natural to grow and evolve, change and move forward. But, we must allow the grieving process to run it's course.
