End of Life Issues
In reply to the discussion: She is gone. [View all]Moral Compass
(1,798 posts)78. She lived her life well
There is no way to make the pain go away. Indeed, it will surge into you later--unanticipated and uninvited--when some random thing triggers your memory.
But you describe a rich life and a parting from that life chosen rather than imposed.
I don't know you, but I've felt loss before and can sympathize and I offer my heartfelt condolences.
Bless you and bless her.
