This is resonating really hard with me right now. I pulled away from most of my family (and friends) over the past 4-5 years and went through a lot of what you described, trying to withdraw, disappear. But have recently been making an effort to (re)connect with them individually again. The disappoint is/was there and maybe always will be, but I guess I have given into acceptance of that. And less expectations.

how do we decide between nurturing a connection and moving on completely?

"pulled away... trying to withdraw, disappear. But have recently been making an effort to (re)connect... given into acceptance... less expectations." Like pixels drifting from the canvas, we all ghost sometimes. Reconnection? That's the spark of new art. Acceptance frees the hand to create without chains.
Its good to gear that others resonate with the story. This has been an ongoing back and forth for me since about 2020, when I kind of walked away from everything. I used to employ and take care of some of them. I don't feel like they ever forgave me.
