The memories of the departed souls haunt us throughout our lives

The loss of a loved one brings with it a lot of pain and anguish. We tend to relive the memories and the good times spent together and this eventually brings sadness with it. If this is not dealt with care, it might turn into episodes of depression and denial. We must learn how to deal with the grief over the loss of a loved one effectively. What is important is to understand that not everyone responds to such loss in a similar way. Different people grieve differently. Although it is not an easy exercise, one must understand that it is essential to accept the loss and move on. Keep those memories that make you happy and forget those which haunt you; for memories are a medium to remember and savour the past and not become a nightmare.
