Hi Diane. It's OK. Wasn't expecting a response. What you said the first time pretty well covered it: there was a sweet soul here that is no longer with us. Grateful that you did, tho. It's probably "healthy" to acknowledge these things sometimes, no matter how it feels. Or something. I know tomorrow is a sad day for you, and I've heard that in time it gets easier. But I just don't believe that right now. Not ashamed to say I've been struggling with this. Most of that comes from my own denial, I'm sure. It's all a part of life, we all have to deal with it. Your mom and mine went through it with their folks, and it sucked for them too, I remember. So I get it. I acknowledge it, and I understand it. In a logical sense. What does that mean on an emotional level? Let's be real here, for a sec: doesn't mean a whole lot, does it. We've got to come to terms with it and carry on. What else can we do? Ugh. Words. There aren't any. I'm at a loss. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm ... IDK, "whining" or something. I probably am. Listen, God bless you and your family tomorrow. Keep your chin up, and take care, OK. Thanks.
