Val, feel how you feel. I am glad you can express it and feel comfortable enough with us to express it here. Remember moving forward is only a prelude to moving on. Moving forward makes you stronger.
After moving forward for a time you may find you have moved on or you may feel ready to make the decision to move on. IMO this will happen much later in this journey.
Do we need to focus on where we are, on whether we are moving forward or on? I don’t think so. What difference does it make so long as what we do is healthy for us individually?
I think we need to focus on doing the things that make us stronger. Focus on doing the things that make us complete, better and happier. Focus on doing these things for us as individuals first. Focus on the actions rather than the status.
Do rather than be and when you can no longer do but must be, be in the moment now. Do not let the past drag you down.
Of course we will reflect on what was, and we may feel pain when we do. I am suggesting we cannot allow the past to dominate our present. We are sad and this is normal and healthy. We grieve for what has been or what will be lost. At some point we need to put the grief away and move forward, lean into it. You are doing this each day.
