Yo, Jimbo, you are right, it is neither Mundane or pointless, but I just thought it could be mundane and pointless in the way that there is really nothing you can say, thanks for the condolances ---

My heart goes out to your for your loss. It _isn’t_ mundane: losing someone rocks the fabric and foundation of your world. All the days after feel weirdly _different_. This will sound stoogey and hokey. My grandparents and parents have died, and the world rocked on its axis each time. But people die in their turn, and grieving turns into remembering which turns into acceptance. Your world just shifted; it’s the way of it. With time, the unreality becomes almost…reasonable. I’m sorry, so sorry for your loss. Veb ---

☹ What they said. My heart goes out to you, Ad Noctum. Lost my grandparents early on, and my parents when my kids were very small. I really like what Veb said, she said it well. Take care, and hold to the memories, they’ll bring you comfort when the days are most dark and empty. {{{{{{{{Ad Noctum}}}}}}}} ---
