I watched an interview with Billy Bob Thornton about the lasting impact of his brother’s death. He said,

“There's a melancholy in me that never goes away. I'm 50 percent happy and 50 percent sad at any given moment... I don't want to forget my brother. I don't want to forget what it felt like when he died, because he deserves that - that's how important he was to me. So, if I have to suffer and I have to be sad for the rest of my life, and if I have to be lonely without him… then that's the way I honor him.”

Billy Bob Thornton chooses not to “move on” in a way that forgets his brother, but rather to honor his memory and the impact his brother had. It is exactly how I feel about Trent.
