I’ve been thinking a lot about the period of mourning and grief I’ve been through over the past year or so and am so relieved to be coming to the end of it. I look back and remember how sad I was and am so relieved to be able to be happy again – but I wonder – do WAS grieve?
Hmmm ~ I do think they do to a degree. Relating this back to my case (as you do), I think mine probably has some regrets. I also think at this time he is hiding most of his feelings, as I still get to see the walking shell most of the time.
I really think it is easy to try and kid himself that he has moved on with new woman/child, set of friends, but I do think in the quiet time when he is alone with his thoughts, that some regret/mourning may creep in. How knows, this is not a rational man.
I am glad that you are at the tail end of the grieving process. It is a much nicer place to be, although I do miss the energy the grief gave me. I tend to be more laid back when I am happier
