My condolences. ☹ Grief sucks and is so difficult. I’m going through it right now, too. Try to not expect too much from yourself. ---

Sorry for your losses, **madmonk** and **galen**. As **galen** said, there’s no right way to feel. Whichever way you feel, that’s the right way to feel. ---

Very sorry to hear this. Unexpected deaths are the hardest. It seems unfair that a life gets snuffed out ahead of its time. You have my prayers. ---

Thank you all for your kind words. I’m going to be off line for a while, we’re not only coming to terms with her death, but there are a million details to take care of. She had no will and I’m not even sure where to begin. ---

I wish that I could offer more than, I’m sorry. It may not seem like it now, but the pain and loss you’re going through will slowly get better with time. I’m wishing you all the best madmonk.
