Narcissistic Abuse and Complicated Grief

Grief is heart-breaking. Grief is about loss. What you had is now gone, and will never return. I remember saying to my mother years ago, “It would have been better to believe he had been a good man and hold beautiful memories, rather than knowing what he was and having to end it with him.” [...]
