It is a gift. And, yes I do understand what you mean. Although it is never easy. It is easy for the sake of others and for keeping alive a special memory. I am constantly reminded of that expression; better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Those who have not lived through such anguish may think it tragic, and far from true. While I would never wish to live through that again I am grateful to have survived it. The gift is also in that I have been able to journey this dark valley with friends who have subsequently lost spouses due to the ravages of cancer.

Those who have not lived through it personally don't understand, and won't, despite thinking they do. It's the same with other things in life; there's no experience like first have experience.
You seem to be doing ok now, although there were certainly times in which you have not been ok at all, and still may be...that's how it's supposed to be I guess. What's important is that you hold on to the memories and experiences you shared to counter-balance it all out. But you know all that.
All the best for the week.
Exactly! I find that in the face of ignorance over tragedy silence is the greatest comfort
A wonderful week to you to
