Flashbacks and reruns of disturbing memories can be exhausting. For those in grief, the memories can hit you unexpectedly. Time will fade the bad memories, but be sure to make a conscious effort to remember the good.
A lady told me that she would see his late husband in her mind when he was really sick, but that faded away with time. Now she sees him praying in church, which is good. At first she said she had a lot of the negative flashbacks, but over time she started to see the good things.
Reminisce good memories about your loved one with someone else. You may want to write down those memories. Above all, enjoy the good memories and gain strength from them.
Isaiah 57:10
"You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint"
