YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Grief doesn’t stay the same forever, and when it begins to ease, a lot of people feel unsettled by that. It can feel like something is wrong, or even like you’re being disloyal to the person you lost, as if the fading intensity means the connection is fading too.

But that’s not what’s happening. The pain isn’t the proof of love. It’s a response to loss, and over time, it’s supposed to change. The mind isn’t meant to stay in that acute state indefinitely. And letting yourself feel moments of happiness again isn’t forgetting. It’s part of continuing.
