It is okay to grieve the past, to mourn what once was. It is difficult to temper that with not getting caught in the whorl of what might have been, what almost was. Mourn the past, and the future that has died along with it. But do not tarry overlong, for there is a future that still exists, that is waiting for you to join it. Find your path forward. Find your door to Arcadia and fearlessly take hold of that handle. Declare yourself to be the truth you know in your heart. Find your time in that Elysian sun.
Cherish those who have loved you, and will love you. Cherish the memory of those who have come and gone from your life, for whatever multifarious reason led to the parting. Sing their songs when it is time to sing. Let the memory bring joy.
