We all know that on an intellectual level that this is part of the journey we all choose. Yet, our heart can only feel and not think. We have to process the loss and then we can continue on our path. When this happens we know and we feel that the person who is no longer in the body is always in our soul. <BR/>Thank you, for Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10571464333419314695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-9613571639669487322008-05-07T09:27:00.000-07:002008-05-07T09:27:00.000-07:00"Things that two did together one does now."A simp..."Things that two did together one does now."<BR/>A simple, quiet statement about loss.

A part of him died with her, leaving a very lonely man whose void nothing could ever fill. When he finally was released to join her some 10 years later, I was saddened to my core since I had no siblings to ease my grief. Losing parents, or for that matter losing any loved one, is a life-changing event.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-65637485250766065362008-05-05T11:34:00.000-07:002008-05-05T11:34:00.000-07:00You have been tagged.

After reading your own struggles with loss and grief, I appreciate your comment.<BR/><BR/>HHB - her posts touch the heart, don't they?<BR/><BR/>Jean - merci.
