Today I noticed my 'internal computer' already deleting memories of those passed away
Don't know if this is an evolutionary thing - but when trying to get to my Grandma's place (a place I've been millions of times) I got lost and didn't know where I was.

For some grounding: My grandma died this year. She was 95 - a true beacon of compassion, dilligence and responsibility.

Anyway, on the way to her house I got lost, not really remembering my way.

I think my brain is deleting the information with her data in it. I worry about this...

1. Respectfully,
I might default towards some other explanation first, and consider this later on. It could be a simple mental glitch that is fairly attributable to some other perfectly rational reality.

I think also that people in general don't forgive themselves often enough for the many mental mistakes we make, given the huge volume of important information we have to process daily, mixed in with all the total nonsense we also have to assimilate on a daily basis, during every waking hour.

Go easy for now, is my advice, and be critical as time goes by.

If needed.

But only my thoughts.

All the best with this dilemma.

4. Thanks.
Sounds rough.

Time can be a bit of a healer in certain circumstances.

Wishing you the best, Taverner.

Have always enjoyed you being here.

5. Stress will do it.
And nothing stresses like grief. Big hug, go easy on yourself. You won't forget those you love, not ever.
