my big loss

This time of year always greets some of us with tragedies of sorts. At least your pain will be based on missing the satisfactory relationship shared with a loved one.

A worse case scenario (on an opposite note), would be those instances where one might wish it were possible to forget certain individuals and erase them from our memories.

Much better to have loved one another and suffer the cessation of the good times that were shared (than having to dread unpleasant memories of one who emotionally failed us).
