Wonderful nostalgia
When is nostalgia useful for bereaved, and when is it harmful? Can a different version of nostalgia arise from the mourning we feel for what we lost? Nostalgia, like mourning, is an experience of absence. However, the experience of nostalgia cannot be reduced to that of regret. Nostalgia evokes not only the regret of what has already been; yet it flashes a beam of light on our future. In the foreground, then, it is no longer regret but gratitude. This happens when we experience a past that comes back from the future and pays us a surprising visit.
