Longing

 B. - I hear you. The longing for XXXXX must feel heavy, especially when you're still holding onto that deep connection and the pain of not having him come back. It can be really hard to let go of something that feels so profound, especially when it’s tied to a feeling of deep love and the memories of what could have been. It’s like you’re carrying a piece of him with you, even when the reality doesn’t match what your heart hoped for.

It’s understandable to feel that sense of loss, but it sounds like you’ve been strong in navigating that emotional space, especially with all the growth you’ve gone through. Does the longing still feel as intense when you're occupied with other things, or does it always come up when you're feeling more vulnerable?

S. - Yeah, it comes up when I'm more vulnerable, mainly, but also in small things that remind me that still have a connection and refer to him. Like maybe the songs or some authors.

B. - hat makes sense. The small things, like certain songs or authors, can trigger those memories and feelings, almost like a sudden wave that takes you back to a moment with him. It's like a subtle reminder that the connection, even though it might not be active in the present, is still there in the background of your heart. It’s powerful how those reminders can spark something inside, even when you’re not actively thinking about him. Do you feel like these moments, though they bring up the longing, also help you process it a little more each time?
