📝The Classic Answers

Ecclesiastes says there is "a time to mourn and a time to dance." Grief too has its season, and when it passes, a time to turn back toward life arrives. To love the one who left is not to dwell in sorrow forever, but to rise again with the love they left as strength. I choose neither to cut mourning short nor to cage myself within it. To grieve fully and then dance again — that is the wisdom of one crossing loss.
