I would think it would be weird not to have moments of sadness after building and sharing a life for for so many years. Some days we'll grieve the loss of the M, others the loss of the friendship, or the loss of shared plans, interests, dreams...
I would think these things won't completely go away, perhaps just diminish with time?
And yes - then there are the times when something triggers a memory and I think - "I don't miss that."
In my case, what has changed is how I react to these moments and how long I linger in them - less and less for sure.
Time does help heal...
It's good to see some old familiar folks posting. I think I might start a new thread too.
