Thoughts on Grief/Loss Day 7. It's getting easier.

I can think about him without crying now as long as I don't think about him too much. I read some of our old texts and smiled instead of crying. If I let the thoughts linger though that's when the tears come so I've been trying to just let the thoughts go mostly the past couple days. I still have at least 1 breakdown a day but they're getting shorter and less ugly. I feel a bit of guilt that it hurts less now though.

that progress isn't a betrayal of the love you still feel, and your brain easing up on the pain doesn't mean you're forgetting them
