I just saw this thread, Johanna…OMG, I am so sorry. There truly are no words. 
Thanks to all of you for your kindness! Yous are the greatest!
I don’t know what awaits us after death, if anything, but if there is a Heaven, I’m positive that she is one of the blessed. She gave us so much love.
In 1985 in Ohio, a motorcyclist with no helmet who wasn’t looking where he was going rear-ended my car and got badly hurt. I and my car were completely unharmed. I felt so bad that I was the occasion for him to crash himself, even though it was all his fault. Ever since then, I’ve been afraid of hurting motorcyclists with my car and always give them a very wide berth.
Thank you! It really is very helpful.
They’re 19 and 10. We’re a close-knit family and we console one another, especially given the example their mother showed us. She taught us all to love one another more.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She sounds like a wonderful person.
19 is young to lose a parent, and 10 is way too young. I’m glad that you can console one another and that the link hleped.
