We're sending thoughts your way.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01837343422358215064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14835703.post-26741612518137479692007-07-12T08:24:00.000-07:002007-07-12T08:24:00.000-07:00Dakota, having been through this with my parents' ...Dakota, having been through this with my parents' deaths in 2000 and my husband's in 2005, I can say that there is no description of grief that really fits. It is what it is. It is yours. It is fixed to meet your needs, and it is also fluid. What works today might not help a bit tomorrow. But whatever you feel is OK. How could it be anything other?<BR/><BR/>I'll keep you near my heart. I can't do much else. But know that I understand your grief as a process that takes you where only you can go, and regardless of what any of us "get" or don't get, it is where you need to be now.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you have a friend who can let that be. :')Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.com
