Is it possible to restore lost happiness after the demise of a very loving one? Please explain how?

I've never experienced this first hand, but I believe that love lives on even after the person has died.

The various processes of grief must be fully experienced before you will able to let go.

Don't deny yourself what you feel; don't deny those tears.

Nobody knows how long it will or should take - it will take as long as you need.

I'd think your loved one will want you to live a life loving yourself, taking care of yourself - and you can do all that without feeling guilty as you slowly let go of her.

You can't restore 'lost happiness' - you will go on and create new one, with new people - we all love different people different, not more, not less: just different. You'd find happiness in another form - and you'd find that as you do that, the loved one that you've lost is still very much part of you, even while your life goes on. I think that's what love is all about.

Good luck.

Yes-When you love someone, you never really let go but there is heathy not letting go and unhealthy. Mourn- let yourself mourn. Mourning takes time- don't rush it. By time- I mean time. Don't expect a week or month. It varies by person and their approach. At the begining it all feels hopeless, don't give in to that feeling, no matter how long it may last. If you hit a point where you do not think you can face that hopelessness talk with someone. In fact, before you hit that point talk to someone. Take time for yourself and memories but countinue to live- be around people. Remember, the one who loves you does not want you to be miserable. They want to live in the heart of your memories but they can only do that if you are living. Go ahead and cry, Go ahead and yell at the unfairness of it all. Go ahead and let it out. Go out though, despite it all. Sometimes you simply have to push through the worst of it. Sometimes you need to remind yourself over and over that it all gets better eventually. I lost someone very dear to me 16 years ago and there are still days that I can't help wishing he was here. But he would want me here and I would not want to disappoint him. I lost someone dear to me within the last six months. Due to being prone to bipolar depression, it was a great catylist to falling to pieces. I had to walk away from a good job becouse the stress and the mourning was killing me. I am regaining myself, stepping back out in the job market. But I hurt, and I miss, and I hate the people who tell me I will replace the loved one in time. You never replace. But you can move on and make room for others. Love. Mourn. Cry. Remember. Wade through the misery. Come out on the other side. GIVE IT TIME. TALK.

yes - you gotta hang in their and find some means of social support. It isnt easy but after time one can recover.

Hello,Attitudes vary imensley.It all depends on what you mean by demise.A death is always tragic,Perhaps some times lessend by the comfort of a religious background,Even so i know its hard either way as i am currently going through a divorce.I think happiness is always within ones self,all we need to do is be positive and look round the corner,There is always something better to look forward to when youre down.Regards,Mike.

Yeah, it´s possible. Must go out and you´ll find someone even better than the person you thought you loved so much.

Love does not die with the body, It lives in everyone and everything that is around us. We are surrounded by it. The body may be gone, but the memory and spirit remains. It is a gentle breeze, a first snow, a lightly falling rain. True death and loss happens when those of us that are left forget. Never forget. Be comforted that you will meet again, and live as your loved one would wish you to live.

very incredibly doubtful. i'm the voice of experience.
