When I look back on my life I realized that I have difficulty in letting things go. Instead, I just repressed everything all together and obviously this isn't healthy.
Just recently, I have lost my dad. It topped up all the heartaches from having your heartbroken by your boyfriend/girlfriend. Losing a parent is the most painful thing I have felt in my existence. Until now I am grieving. It is really not an easy ride, you cannot get over it in a snap. It will constantly pop in your mind and you will be reminded of the pain. But I think will not get over grief, but instead choose to live despite of grief. Time will heal those wounds slowly, and keep in mind that there are a lot of things beyond your control and you have to accept that.
