Default better to have loved than...

Quote:
Better to have loved and lost than never at all.
Sometimes I don't get this. Actually I don't. Having a loss brings up memories. But then to remember is also to find grief in facing the future without similar kinds of memories being possible anymore. Then that is sad and a missing and a longing. How does that turn into a good thing? How does remembering make the heart whole again? Is it possible to feel a memory for what it is without projecting the dismal future and to be happy that you loved?
