I think like when we experience a loss; it is always good to acknowledge it. Living in denial without accepting it is now where the problems are.

They say grief occurs in five stages. First, there's denial, followed by anger. Then comes bargaining, and depression. For most, the final stage of grief is acceptance. Source

This is a quote from the movie series Revenge. I think it's apt in a lot of situation in real life. Once we could accept the situation, moving on becomes somewhat easier. But not accepting it is and trying to move on is just a temporary fix and won't last like a house built on a shaky foundation. Thanks one more time.
