In short: of course we have feelings. It is the main reason we are tethered to this world, be it the feeling of guilt, or regret, or, as you've said, love, heartache, and jealousy. The Bloody Baron, for example: you can see the remorse seeping through him... The blood on his robes, the chains he himself chose to carry — enduring something that strong, how can one not believe in ghosts feeling as strongly as the living beings do?

Time certainly helps to heal all wounds but for us it tends to take much longer, especially those of us who died while in the midst of having those emotions. I—

Well, my lightheadedness was certainly a surprise. I felt like I was not yet ready, there was so much to do! I did not even realize I hadn't moved on at first. Probably the strongest feeling on my mind wasn't even that strong: my unrequited affection for Apollonia was slowly fading and the feelings developing for Anne were not as strong just yet. Others came after them, of course. It was very... Frustrating. Being there, unable to touch. I was heartbroken. I was jealous. And envious of everything people had that I could no longer experience. It's been decades and you learn to let go. My presence and my voice — I am grateful I have them to give to those I've loved. It is ok. 

Do not be sad on our behalf, dear. Nothing we can do can change that now. The best option for us is to continue "living". Luckily, with wonderful, charming, and compassionate people such as yourself eternity does not sound that bad ~ Come find me if you ever feel lonely 🤍

Unconditionally yours,
