Thank you for delving into my post:) Love is such a juicy topic...people have written for eons about it yet nobody has certainty about anything when it comes to love.

I get your point. We keep memories in our mind. In my experience I have felt that the more resistant you are to those memories the harder it is to let go. Of course that some things can linger, but for how long determines the amount of suffering.
Its like salt without it the food feels bland and excess of it ruins it completely.

I wonder...is it possible to have too much love that it hurts? I don't know the answer to this either. When it comes to kids I know that there is no such thing as too much love. Maybe we can apply it to adults? Perhaps what is too much is not love, it is attachment. And oh my what another juicy topic that is!
