Particularly talking of those we've lost and remembering the good times while the bad times seem to fade a little.<br /><br />My lovely Uncle died on my birthday in October 2012. I was devastated by it, particularly as his own children (my cousins) were causing such pain to his long term partner over funeral arrangements and the house and money. But Margaret despite her tears and grief had the time to comfort me, when it should have been the other way around. <br /><br />After the funeral she and we were not invited to the Wake, so made our own, which was small but joy and laughter filled as we remembered 'Daniels' good times and the antics he got up to. <br /><br />Even now, more than a year later, it's still a little raw - but we remember him in fondness and love.

You have as you have said enough ...Well said Jean. You have as you have said enough experience of the pain of loss to know that any escape into happiness is always accompanied by guilt.<br />We feel guilty just for being here still when they are not, but in time a balance is found and that is what I am praying for, for you.<br />One day at a time.......<br />Blessings.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.com
