Lisa,

I add my tears to the bucket being filled for you.

It took great courage and love to carry you through this ordeal and now to open up to strangers so quickly. When we lose someone it is truly a physical loss as much as that of a limb of our body. Your pain is very fresh now and will slowly ease over time. Do not let anyone give you a schedule nor tell you that there will be closure. Take courage from the voices here as there is so much experience with coping with pain and loss and turning adversity into something positive.

With deepest sympathy,
Malka
