I realized yesterday that I only miss someone when I feel I can no longer reach out and speak to them and be heard/understood/received,
And if that happens, the version of them that I know is completely gone.
And if that's true, then any words from their new self aren't the same, and only create (1)
new grief in my heart when I hear them. It is like a doppelganger wearing the face and using the voice of a person I once loved so much, but the heart and soul aren't there, and it hurts more.
Knowing that helps me keep my distance, and helps me cherish the memories I have.
Grieving is still so hard
