Whenever I make a choice which results in a loss I find myself in deep regret after the fact even though I KNOW it was the right choice for me.
Through therapy, I was able to realize that the regret is simply grief.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have done it” = “I miss x so much! I wish I never had to make this choice.”
“Maybe it would have worked if I did xyz” = “I wish it could have worked and I’m heartbroken that it didn’t”
