I thought it would get easier.....

.

I do somewhat what you are going through. If there is a new normal I have not found it yet. I do have good days and bad. I have managed to keep busy. But now the family and freinds are gone I have to find a new normal. Which I am sure will come for you and for me. I have been told That you do not get over it you learn to live with it.

Thank you all for your patience with me in the next little while.

I am so sorry to hear... my thoughts are with you during this time of hardship

Sorry to hear this but I ma glad she went on her terms.

She was your gateway into this world, the only one who has been with you since the very beginning . This relationship is one of a kind. How can we not feel the pain of this loss. Be patient and kind to yourself. It takes time to process it all.

You expressed this so beautifully vic's chicks, thank you.
Thinking of you right now as you walk this path, Coopslave

So sorry.

Oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh j, I'm so sorry. Trying to find the time to write you a thoughtful email to your last one and haven't yet and now I finally open up the Swap to this news....3 days later. 

Keep your face to the Light. Thinking of you so much this evening.

So sorry, Coopslave. I lost my Mom a couple years ago and my Dad this spring. Just take it one day at a time, sometimes one moment.

I lost my mother two years ago , it's a long hard journey , but peace will find you .It;s a living lesson that we all will learn ,and memories will carry you through it

Grief is my companion,
It takes me by the hand,
And walks along beside me
in a dark and barren land.
How long will this lonesome journey last,
How much more can my weary heart bear?
Since your death, I've been lost in the fog,
Too burdened with sorrow and care.
People tell me my sadness will fade,
And my tears will reach their end.
Grief and I must complete our journey,
And then maybe I'll find happiness again

We're sorry for your lose over the last couple years.  Losing a loved one is never easy.
