Consider the empathy of those who post in an effort to ease your pain. We are all beings cut from the same cloth; we laugh, we cry, we live, we die. Share yourself fully with those around you, especially at this difficult time as it is serves to heal.
I have found some comfort with the following quote which I believe succinctly defines the loss of a loved one, and I hope you too find some meaning and comfort in them.
"All that we can know about those we have loved and lost is that they would wish us to remember them with a more intensified realization of their own reality. What is essential does not die but clarifies. The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude."
--Thornton Wilder
God bless you and yours in this difficult time.
