Day 15: You Can Miss Them and Still Move Forward

“Moving forward doesn’t mean leaving them behind. It means carrying them differently.” — Walk the Hidden Path

Teaching

There may come a moment when you smile without flinching. When you go a whole day without crying. When laughter doesn’t feel like guilt.

And then a thought hits you: *Am I moving on?*

And with that, the fear: *Does that mean I’m forgetting them? Leaving them behind?*

But moving forward is not abandonment. It’s honoring.

It means you’ve built enough inner scaffolding to carry their memory differently now. Not as a wound, but as part of your marrow.

You will still miss them. You always will. But the grief will shift. So will the shape of your days. And that isn’t wrong — it’s healing.

Let yourself take the next step, whatever it is. Let the love that once broke you open be the same love that walks you forward. They are not left behind. They’re walking beside you — just in a quieter way now.
