I can hardly know what to say. I offer my condolences on a painful loss. I know what it is to lose someone you love that much. I also know that while some wounds never heal, they do make us stronger. Real love grants the strength to endure loss. I will not wish you better days. I will pray for better days. I will pray for your beloved. I will pray for you. ---
