The return of the repressed

How does one deal with grief?

The intense emotions seem to erupt like far traveling pulses of energy from an unknown land.

They come attached to small fragments of memory of the times had. now gone, never to return.

What am I mourning, the being or the memory?

Should I allow myself to be overcome by the swell of emotion or should I swallow it down, chasing it off to whence it came.

Am I feeling the loss because I wasn’t truly present in the moment.

Yes

Shall I allow the emotion to be fully felt.

Yes

Is grief the cost of love

Absolutely.

And I will pay every fucking penny.
