I can’t figure out if saying it out loud makes it seem more real or less. Typing it makes it real. It’s real, I guess. ---

My condolences. That’s very rough. I remember how hard it was for my Father when my Mother died. ---

I am so sorry. Like **Chimera** , I can’t seem to type anything of worth right now. My dad died unexpectedly when my mother was in her early 40s, and it was awful for her and our family. I hope you have people close to you in your life - physically close - who can help you with both immediate and slightly more distant future concerns. When Dad died I ended up being The Strong One for us, through the arrangements and such, but Mom had help from his and her families as well, after I had to go back to college. Please, try to take care of yourself or let others you trust do so. ---
