Max, I can relate, You describe it very accurately, it is like a flood. The memories are quite often bittersweet......recalling things said, done, and with such detail you can almost smell the cookies. Since the flood doesn't bring you down, why don't you try to just ride it out and enjoy the memories. Think of the people you loved, cherish the memories, embrace them. For by doing so you never totally are without those you loved so well. Be well, and take care of yourself.
