I was speaking to a psychologist recently and I used the phrase moving forward rather than moving on. She totally agreed and said it was something she would use. She said it says taking them with you whereas moving on feels like leaving them behind. She also doesn't like talking about "The Journey".
Not that I am moving forward. I'm stuck in my grief and sorrow. Sunshine here today although cold but it doesn't lift my spirits at all.
Peace to all of us going through this pain.
