Before going through it I could comprehend the loss associated with a spouse or a child. These things are unnatural. If you would have tried to explain it to me before it happened, there’s no way I would have believed it.

Perhaps they just don’t get it, and God Bless them that they haven’t had that type of loss.
Man did you hit it on the head about not being prepared. I knew well in advance that Mom was terminal. I've lost more people in my life than I want to list. I thought I knew how it would hurt. I thought I was ready for it. Boy howdy was I wrong! She died in September last year and it stills hurts like it was yesterday. Thanks for understanding
