I am so sorry for your loss. <br />Do you spend time reliving the good times with her? How lucky you were to have had her in your life? I hope you can remember that.<br /><br />I am so sorry not to have commented here for such a long time, Blogger messed up my ‘moderate’ box and I have only just realised that for several years there were 100s of comments I never even knew about. Thank you for your comments during my own hard times.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-39558058338117048522019-04-11T16:13:34.081-06:002019-04-11T16:13:34.081-06:00I know this pain of loss all too well, too many ti...I know this pain of loss all too well, too many times too and in my case even more recently losing my mom suddenly in 2017. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you. Take all the time you need... that pain never really goes away.

Anyone who has suffered such a loss will identify with it immediately. And those who have never had to endure it will have a better understanding of your pain.Elizabeth H.
