I feel for you, I miss my dad so much, he passed away in 2002, and there are days it feels like it is the same day, then there are days where remembering his sayings, bring me comfort, it's so hard to get use to. Memories keep those departed, "alive" in a sense, when people do not remember someone, to me that is when they have died.
Try to let the memories help bring comfort, yes, we know we all want more than memories, but we need to try to understand this crazy thing, life cycles.
Please take care.
Love,
Roe
