Regardless of how expected or even willed the death of a loved family member is, it’s still a hard loss to bear. Once our parent/s have gone, it reminds us of our own imminent mortality and I hope you get through these days OK **Broomstick**. Take care. ---

Broomstick, I’d wanted to post when this thread opened, but couldn’t think of anything to say. I still can’t think of anything to say, other than I’m very sorry and offering cyberhugs. It’s so hard to lose parents. ☹ ---
