Do you keep the memories alive or push in back of your mind?

Memories of deceased loves ones for example, I find myself pushing those thoughts in back of my mind because sometimes thinking about those people makes me sad and I don't want to be sad.

Professionals say it's not good to push those thoughts away but I say everyone has their own way of dealing.

    Some days there are tears and some days there are not, I don't hide those feelings.

    When I'm in a good mood, good memories come up. Bad mood, bad memories.

    I just let it all flow. I'm one of those who could be working away or doing anything and something from my past pleasantly pops in to my mind......I like it that way. And so, clearly, those memories are alive.

    I keep them alive, so I have something to hold onto it.

    y'know, some memories grow better with age, some just hurt more when you remember..

    I haven't had anyone very close to me die. But I have a feeling that if I loved them, I would think about them a lot. It doesn't seem easy to just push someone you loved out of your mind.

    I don't mean I do it permanently but sometimes it's easier not to think about them, For me anyways.

    Do you ever think about them and it makes you happy?

    When talking about them with family and friend but to sit and think about them when I'm alone it usually makes me sad, not because the memories are bad but it just hurts that they are no longer here.

    I have a very vivid memory, and very little control when it comes to not thinking about something or someone. I don't' know how people do that, actually. Memories pop into my head all the time. What other choice do I have but to think about them?

    they pop in my mind too but at times I push them back, think of something else

    I've never been able to do that. Trying not to think about something has the opposite effect on me. Sometimes I wish I could push memories away. It would save me some pain.

    Some of the dearest memories I have involve those who have passed, and as long as I keep the thoughts fresh, they are still with me. And yes, sometimes there is an element of lachrymose, but life isn't all fun. In the end, we will all be a memory to those around us, and we might as well make the memories good ones.

    I don't actively suppress or retain my memories, i leave them be.
