In Love with Memories

We have some wonderful people in our Widows Quest community. One of those people is Leslie who has just moved into a new house, you can read her feelings in the comments to Grief Has Made Me Emotional.
I cried when I read her thoughts..why? Because I hate people hurting…I so wish that I had a magic bereavement wand that would take away all our pain.
But it made me think about how we emotionally attach to objects….mmmm…but then is it really the object that we attach to? In Leslie’s case it is a house, with me it is a jumper! But when you think about it, we are not really attached to the object we are attached to the memories.
When you think about it, memories are movable…..maybe what we need to do is realise that the object is only a trigger to the memory? Therefore if we find a new trigger than we retain the happy memories….
