Is this weird after bereavement/loss?

[Newbracelet]

Is it odd to kind of 'become' the person you lost if they've been in your life for decades? I mean doing things that they would have liked doing, wearing things they would have chosen to wear and almost living the life they would have lived? I'm not really explaining it well because it sounds kind of creepy. It's not imitation or trying to bring them back. I just wondered if it's a thing.

Not odd. You’re not becoming that person, you are just trying to feel closer to their memory.
Sorry for your loss.

Thanks.
That makes sense I suppose. I've just noticed it recently. I can see it's a bit of a pattern with me maybe.
