Bittersweet

I think the term bittersweet is an understatement. So many people and situations have given me the bittersweet feeling, and it can feel so much more heart-wrenching than bitter. Focusing on the sweet is a good way to cope, or just moving forward in life with the lessons-learned from those people and experiences. But by doing that, are we running away from the difficult and necessary acts of tying up loose ends, getting closure, and telling people what they deserve to hear?
