- Part of why I won’t let this go is that accepting it feels like saying it was okay, like I’d be letting them off the hook

- I’m hardly ever actually here
- It’s been long enough that I can quietly admit something in me has shifted since they died
Practices that may help
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Made Practical

Make room for unwanted feelings instead of struggling against them, so they stop running the show.

Accept that something happened without approving of it, pretending it’s fine, or treating it as deserved.

Notice the steady "you" that observes thoughts and feelings without being defined by them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Made Practical - Turning the mind toward acceptance
Actively choose acceptance — not once, but each time the mind rebels — treating it as a repeated practice, not a state.
Distress Tolerance Skills, Made Practical - Radical Acceptance, Made Practical
Radical acceptance, taught by Tara Brach and rooted in dialectical behavior therapy, means fully acknowledging reality as it is — including pain you cannot change — instead of fighting it. The point is not approval or giving up; it is to stop the extra suffering that resistance adds on top of the original pain. Acceptance-based skills are well-established in clinical practice (DBT, ACT); RAIN is a practitioner framework for applying them.
