I remember in one of Montgomery's book, after a loss, someone said the fact that the loss would hurt less in the future was something that felt terrible to them

I remember reading/hearing about that so much. The quote, not the book, that is.

I remember feeling *guilty* that I didn't *want* the loss to hurt less, because that would mean it *mattered less*, and I felt awful about that. Why deliberately do something that would cause so much pain, only to read that once time passes, you'll look back only to see it doesn't hurt much, if at all?

I understand what the quote is getting at - all pain passes eventually, given enough time (or it doesn't and you learn to integrate it), but man... it's rough letting go.

I suppose though in some circumstances this would be considered somewhat of a relief, to know the pain won't last forever.
