What is Coexisting?

Learning to hold the grief and the living at the same time. They can both be true.

When you might feel coexisting

Coexisting is a specific form of accepting, which itself is a type of integration. You might experience this feeling in situations where integration is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define coexisting.
