A few weeks ago, I was at a public library when I stumbled upon this book by Dr. Mary Lamia: "Grief Isn't Something to Get Over". Dr. Lamia, a psychologist, published the book in 2022.
There were a few quotes in the book that stood out for me:
"We may find comfort in focusing our attention on what we had, rather than on our yearning to restore what is impossible to replicate in the present."
"The passage of time after a loss is helpful to us as the discrepancy between past and present memories become less stark."
"A person's death is a distinct but incongruent memory, and it is hard to assimilate it into what we know and remember."
"Goodbyes are only a single remembered event in a lifetime."
