her life before she knew was depressing (I want to say hopeless) and stuck, whereas afterwards she starts to move on.
Yes, exactly. Whether she wanted to or not, she had grown from the experience, and got out of the stasis she was in. I liked the way she took positive steps to organize the support group in the first place - I'd like to think she can cope even with this. She can still talk to Jonah, and see him. That's the reality: she may not like it, but I'd like to see her show courage rather than denial.
I can understand wanting to have only the good memories and not the more recent ones
What she really wants is for bad things not to happen, but that isn't what life offers us. We get what we get.
