This quote suggests that even if our lives improve after a significant change or loss, we still mourn the version of life we had envisioned for ourselves.

This highlights the emotional attachment we have to our own perceptions and the difficulty in letting go of that initial vision.

With the counseling of my family doctor, my mother ended up turning to Weight Watchers and their children's program.
