Taking inventory of your life after losing someone you love is an important part of the grieving process, but it’s also a very significant way to reduce anxiety. As you saw in Ethan’s story, a loss can serve as a wake-up call, reminding us of our priorities and sometimes alerting us to ways we’ve been living that aren’t optimal.

There is often a fear, though, that moving forward means letting go of your loved one, and I want to continue to reiterate that this is not the case. You can move forward and live a meaningful life while continuing to honor and cherish your person. Two things can be true at once: you can miss your person and wish they were still here and also build a new life without them.

This forward movement has a different time line for everyone, so I urge you to find the right time for yourself to do this work. Sometimes we push ourselves to move on too quickly as a way of trying to escape the sadness. And sometimes we steep too long in the sadness before finally finding a way to move forward. Check in with yourself, and even check with friends and family to see where they think you are with this.
