I do know what you mean. best of luck with it all.

I went to a visitation yesterday and that somehow was more real than mum’s funeral. When I got up to my friend who’d lost her mum, I lost everything I had planed to say. So I said, there are no words. She agreed. At least my mum was 94 her mum was only 59. Much too young, much like your brother.

Thanks, Nammu. And yes, I also think there's something a bit extra sad when you lose someone way before the usual. Though I am very much grieving the loss of my dad, he was 80, so had a mostly long life. My brother was only 57. When my mom passed she was only 61. It was just flat out unfair that they lost their lives so prematurely. It was only a few months ago I remember telling my brother how unfair it was that he had to struggle with such a terrible terrible illness.
