She died inexplicably in her sleep. There's nothing that can be said to comfort them or ease their horrible pain, just hugs I think.

I recall driving down the main road and wondering how the rest of the people could be just normal when I felt the world had ended. I found knowing someone understands and gives you permission to grieve is a great gift - pretending all is well with the person just further deep-freezes the pain and isolation.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864657381173674455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-81547572425967323682017-01-31T19:30:08.267+00:002017-01-31T19:30:08.267+00:00Proper grief is not something I have really experi...Proper grief is not something I have really experienced. I suppose I will one day and I am not looking forward to it. There must be a terrible sense of loneliness but worse, who do chat about the day to day stuff with? That is the tiny little things in life that no one else would be at all interested in.

It is a response to people showing they care, and the tears are perhaps healthy tears. When some young men came to my house to offer to fix our jungle of a back yard for free in honor of Will, I cried. That is touching art work, I must add.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-66293025614699051072017-01-31T18:19:29.731+00:002017-01-31T18:19:29.731+00:00Yes but sometimes in such a situation it is good t...Yes but sometimes in such a situation it is good to cry and people expressing support and/or sympathy may appear to make things worse but believe me (I have been there) the worst thing of all is for people to ignore it - and even cross the road to avoid having to say anything.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-59316307269489743152017-01-31T17:44:30.477+00:002017-01-31T17:44:30.477+00:00That is a powerful piece of art, by the way.That is a powerful piece of art, by the way.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-7130412117554535922017-01-31T17:43:56.551+00:002017-01-31T17:43:56.551+00:00Kindness is the thing that allows us to release so...Kindness is the thing that allows us to release some of the pain.<br /><br />I will never forget the simple kindnesses I experienced during the years my father was ill and while he was dying, and after his death.
