I think I’ve actually come to accept and grieve loss fairly well, at least internally. Discussion of death was all but disallowed in my family growing up though - the journey here like writing a cook book from scratch without a kitchen.
In processing the grief of needing to leave vs losing, something/one I love, it’s felt more difficult in some weird ways to be faced with a choice. It’s helping me to reflect and write on some of the things that make leaving so hard.
