"Survival is not moving on and forgetting about your loved one, as if to put all that you've experienced behind you forever, for you couldn't do that even if you tried. What has happened is now a part of who you are, not just part of your experience. C.S.Lewis once wrote about how we carry forward memories of our loved ones in our minds, which are a part of our soul that lives on into eternity.. In this special sense, all your loved ones who have preceded you in death, even when their means of doing so was suicide, live on - within your mind. They also live on in the form of their own eternal souls."
