8. Why should you be over it?

You are never 'over it'. You learn to live with, move forward and live life again. But you're never over it. Every year when that date comes, you remember the time, you remember the weather, you remember ever little detail. There comes a time that it's easier to live with, when the day comes and goes a little easier, but you never forget and you're never 'over it'.

You just learn to move forward with your life and eventually you take back control and you don't let it define and control you. But only you can decide when that happens, it's different for everyone. Everyone's experience is different and everyone's healing is different.

So what you're supposed to do with this stuff is whatever you need to do to make it easier on you. Maybe some counseling or a support group would be helpful.
