I always remember with joy and affection the people I loved and who are no longer on this physical plane. And I also feel many times that it is necessary to talk about them, to tell their anecdotes, to think about what they did or would do at a certain time. That's good for me. They seem to visit me all the time. The sad part I try to leave it there, where it happened, I just evoke them through joy.
I like those flowers G. And your photo. It has a huge symbolic charge, as well as love.
I think that's the best way to go...remember them fondly and all the ways they enriched our lives. I know people that hold onto the bad aspects and sometimes it's possibly warranted, although I think it's best to forget it, move on, and if possible remember the good things.
Thanks for commenting and your remark about my photo...I like this one a lot. :)
