Beautifully written it brings a tear to my eye. It is never easy to say goodbye to loved ones. Especially when they are taken in such an unjust fashion.
And yes the sun will shine again

Comment from BethShelby
This is a very touching piece. I too read Lee's account of trying to deal with his Mother's death. This is a fine tribute. My mom and dad have gone too and it is heartbreaking but I'm glad I had them as long as I did. We all deal with grief a little differently but yet the stages seem to be there for all of us.

We would like to hold on to our loved ones as long as we can, but we know the day will come when we have to say good-bye.
Very well done, Buck

Everyone who has lost a parent (especially suddenly) will relate to this, Suse. I lost one suddenly and one slowly. Made no difference. Loss is loss. We each come to terms with it eventually. For me, it's been 20 years. Hugs. :| Nancy

Hi Nancy. Thank you so much...did you read Lee's post? His mother just passed and he wrote about his feelings. So heartbreaking, it got me to remembering my own mom and dad's passing. Now, with my own health issues, I am trying to talk openly with my son, who's 23, about my turn someday. I have had some pain these past few weeks that literally brought me to my knees, and my son was so upset. We just never know. Life can be so painful. I'm so grateful for you Nancy...and all the nice people here...xx. Susan

Yes, I read it. He's mad at himself because he's already exhausted his "mad" at his brother and sister, and he can't be mad at his mom. Once everyone goes home he'll begin to relax. The sooner he cries, the sooner he'll heal. Then he'll have to decide his own future. Starting over financially at nearly 61 is a bitch, especially after being out of the loop for 6 years. But he's resourceful. He'll be okay. And I hope you will, too. Hugs. :} Nancy

Who is Lee, Susan? Loved your write. So sorry you lost both your parents and still miss them. It goes that way with a family bond. But you end more hopeful: probably meeting them again somewhere.

This is very introspective and heartfelt. You have described the loss of a loved one exactly right. We never get over missing them but we can see the sun again. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you so much. It never goes away does it? But nature has a way of easing our pain over time. At least it has for me. I enjoy remembering the good times, and the best of what my folk's were. I'm pleased you took a minute to read for me...Susan
Comment from sweetthanesue
this is a very touching story conveyed with empathy of the thoughts emotions and grief of such a sad loss.
The closing paragraph is the reality that we must continue in life till we are re-united with loved ones again.....sue

Thank you Sue...I looked at old photos again last night, and had to write this. Life is hard at times...and those who go before us, wouldn't want us to be so sad that we can't go on. I thank you so much for this nice review...Susan

Hi there...thank you so much. I had to go back and search out old photos, and this is the result of that, because of a friends recent loss. It's funny how humans can link together in good and bad, happy, and sad. Thank you Roberta. hug, Susan
