Over at Ryhmes with Drowning, Todd remarks
"And then I realized... why? That means nothing to anyone but me. Those
events really TRULY only had relevance to two people in the world, and
one of them is gone. That leaves me, and I don't need to dwell on those
past events."
That is one of the things I find it very difficult to deal with, the
desire to remember the good times of the past, and wanting to share
those memories that we experienced together. But as Todd says those
memories are only relevant to me and Cindy and she's never going to be
here to share those with me. Does that make those memories somehow
empty memories that hold no value? Where do they fit in this new life?
Do they have any place? Did I not only lose Cindy and our future
together? Did I somehow lose much of what only the two of us shared
privately? Think about all the personal memories you have that were
shared with only you and someone you loved. When the loved one dies do
we lose half of those shared memories, or do we actually lose them
completely?
