I felt like I would never get the same approval from someone else...but it's me that should be giving myself approval.
I know I'm not explaining very well, but it was really significant for me.

You're explaining it just fine
I completely understand. It's hard to explain how it feels because there's almost no way to describe it. I've been there with my own loss as well. There really aren't any words, it's more of a feeling.
