Holding Vs Moving

 Is it easier to hold on or move on? The other day, I was speaking to a receptionist at a doctor's office. I have no idea who she was and have even forgotten which office she works in. We were discussing elderly parents. The girl was probably in her 30's, so I assume she had experienced the loss of a grandparent. She said to me that it is much harder to hold on, than to move on. She was referring to a person's journey in life. I wrote down that sentence and told her that I would be using it again. It is harder to hold on. It is so hard to hold on.
