How to block painful memories without forgetting the person/event/...
This is something that I have struggle with a lot. I have had some bad events happen in my life, from bad break ups to the lost of family members. Some events worst than others... But all events had 1 thing in common pain. And like most people, to manage the pain I block it out, I try not to remember the events; the people or things that were involved..
The problem with that is that you actually begin to forget.. Now forgetting the bad event is one thing, but forgetting the person and the good times you had together is an other thing. The question then becomes "are you willing to lose the good in order to forget the bad?" This is a difficult question to answer.. And if the answer is "no" which in my case it is, then how do you manage to do one with out the other? For that I have no answer.
