NegrilIrene and Suzangrace - it is always hard to lose a loved one, no matter why. My heartfelt sympathies to you. Let the memories keep you grounded. Life is memories. We all have memories of yesterday, and that was 32 minutes ago! I beleive deep in my being that there is a Higher Power, and a life after death here. I KNOW my parents and my best friend are guiding myself and my family from wherever they are (and doing a good job of it, too, thanks!). Be thankful for the time you had, and for the friends you found when you needed them the most. How surprising is life! The hurt, the feeling of loss, will never go away. But the joy of their having been a part of your life? It will never go away. Let that feeling glow!
Respectfully
