"It’s hard to heal from any trauma or conflict. It’s like a scar from a deep wound; sure it may close and stop bleeding, but in the end you’re left with a mark you can never get rid of. Remembering those you’ve lost is similar. There’s no way to see them again so I feels useless to mourn. You never really move on like some people say you will. You just move forward, but never too far from where they are.

— Vince

"Lucky for me I haven’t really lost anyone in my life. usually I try to go somewhere calm, not overwhelming and just a place I feel safe in. I also have a specific playlist that helps me think and internalize what just happened. usually I’ll try to figure out the root of the conflict and confront that so said conflict won’t happen again. In situations where that’s impossible I find the trigger for the conflict and avoid it to prevent future conflict.

"I write poems and then I submit them for publication to various university and small presses. I want my words to be seen and read. I want the people I have lost to be known in some small way.

— Margaret

"When I look back on my life, it’s not that I don’t want to see things exactly as they happened. It’s just that I prefer to remember them in an artistic way. And truthfully the lie of it all is much more honest because I invented it. Clinical psychology tells us arguably that trauma is the ultimate killer. Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics. They can be lost forever.

—

"I tell their stories so my memories of those I lost and held dear live on in my children’s stories where I too hope to live on some day. And on it goes so we never forget our past and recognize our ancestors can be guides to our future.

"I embrace the melancholay that’s present when conflict is over. Let it run it’s natural course. Find a favorite mug and a simple tea. Feel the warmth of the tea and the lip of the mug and smell, steam as I drink it. Ground myself. Give the other party respect as a person. Move on confident in my position or considering theirs. Then sometimes I act out horribly.

"I process and heal from conflict by acknowledging the things that I have done wrong and the things the other person/people have done wrong. I then think about things I could have done differently.

I try to address the matter in a sympathetic way.

"I technically have no “special way” of remembering those I’ve lost whether from actual death, grew apart, or just plain no longer talking.
