One day we were discussing plans to get together, the next he was gone. No chance to say goodbye, no chance to tell him that his first grandson would be born later that year. <br /><br />You've captured the dliema of those left behind, eloquently. There's nothing you can do, but nothing you would not do. Nothing brings them back, and yet they never really leave us either. We cannot let go of the "might have beens" but we are redeemed by the "what weres."<br /><br />And your loss is more than I can imagine. <br /><br />You have my sympathy.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689238640477884004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-72443751290517487942010-03-12T08:54:22.214-08:002010-03-12T08:54:22.214-08:00James

When we admit one to our life, we admit the other. You're right, it will pass.

I do as well, and in my case it is July, which was once a month of huge losses for me. It is meant to be an idyllic summer month, but if I am to go into a major funk it is in early July. Last year it ruined my summer, so I can empathize hugely. A metaphorical hug to you, my love, and I assuredly care.Ian Lidsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106994463366766471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-1941484534871098232010-03-10T13:52:25.807-08:002010-03-10T13:52:25.807-08:00I am so moved by what you have written here.I am so moved by what you have written here.Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-27177780884247047912010-03-09T12:18:58.421-08:002010-03-09T12:18:58.421-08:00James is right...this ISN'T something that a b...James is right...this ISN'T something that a blog comment can address. People will read your post and will hurt inside for you...but they won't know how to respond. They will want to write something that will be a balm for your pain...they will want to encourage you somehow...they will want you to know that their own lives have in some ways made them fellow travelers. But again, as James has written, their imagined replies will seem to them to be glib. And yet, they WILL care, as James cares and I care. And they will hope that someone close to you will do what we can't...that they will hold you and love you and be with you until the night storm passes and the stars shine bright once more.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346822594136947060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-81274047910983096822010-03-09T09:02:21.838-08:002010-03-09T09:02:21.838-08:00I'm not au fait with all that happened but I c...I'm not au fait with all that happened but I can see it from your post, Lady M. I had a body blow today myself, one hour ago and health has been very poor for two weeks anyway. I haven't the out and out trauma you seem to have.<br /><br />This is not something a blog comment can address nor even a blogpost. There is a way to address it when all else fails but I can't see how you'll make the journey there.<br /><br />It will sound but I'm sincere when I say your pain is also mine. I'm not going to offer glib reassurances - it's a harder road than that. There are friends though.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
