    Hello, I am loving the posts you have published. As a young window, solo mama to an incredible now 4 year old, and therapist returning to work, I am always looking for grief and loss info for myself and others. I wanted to share that when I hear “move on” I tend to cringe. For me it signals that the time has come to clean up and move on to the next project. Moving on and leaving behind.
    Losing my husband made me afraid to move on. Would I leave him and his memory to be forgotten? I participated in a grief group and the members were all talking about how we struggle with the words moving on. After much discussion we felt using moving forward better represented how we were and are feeling. We can never fully move on, we are changed, live is different. However we can move forward with our memories, our broken healing hearts, and with our loved ones by sharing their legacy.
    Thanks for talking about a difficult topic and giving great suggestions. All the best!!
    Amanda

      Hi again Amanda,

      Thank you for your tender-hearted sharing. My son became a widower at a young age and your comments brought back memories of a difficult time. Good on you for joining a support group to validate your experience. I just spent time with a family member who lost her son to death by suicide. I was reminded that grieving is an individual journey and people are changed in different ways by the experience. People do their best to interface with the grieving, yet often say unhelpful words out of awkwardness or not understanding. “Moving forward” is a good landing phrase. What about, “Taking him with me in my heart”? Just a thought!

      Sending some blessings your way, Patricia
