narrative
every relationship we have while we are alive are like stories we created...
when we lost someone..it's almost like we can't write whatever we wanted to write in this story anymore...
complex emotions including depression, anger, regret, sadness
depends on how deep we identify ourselves with the story and what is the incomplete part of the story
“Love is really the only thing we can possess, keep with us, and take with us.” >> can't keep the story going through physically being with that person...we can still keep writing the stories through the experience of love and connections
