The truth is that there are things we do when we are grieving that make us feel strange or weird, however, everyone lives their grief in a different way. Only we ourselves know how much it hurts. That's why that book helped me because it was not only the story of one person's grief, it was two different people explaining that no matter how much you want to, you can never completely overcome the loss of someone you loved.
If keeping that number makes you feel a little less their absence or reminds you of the love they had for you, it's okay to keep it until you're ready. In the book Rosa mentions that there were moments when she wanted to keep her scent, the one she had left on her favorite armchair, that helped her to manage her pain.
It was a pleasure for me to participate in this contest, when you talk about what you feel you heal and although it doesn't stop hurting it gives you calm and relief.
