How ...I'm late getting to your Oct 21st entry. How precious of you to remember Mr. Shorty in it. I'm sure if there is snow and popcorn in heaven that they are enjoying both together. Your blog is a blessing to many. Thank you for doing this. Warren is struggling with the loss of his wife, Cathy, in April, so we grieve together and are making it through. Much love to all of you....deeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-53111553918824260792010-11-02T20:38:19.906-05:002010-11-02T20:38:19.906-05:00Hang in there, Kecia...That's coming in a futu...Hang in there, Kecia...That's coming in a future post!The Sullivan Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02974080256901038198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-2535350727730788362010-11-02T18:10:03.527-05:002010-11-02T18:10:03.527-05:00I'm like siouxy.

I did lose my dad suddenly and too early, like she did (9 years ago Friday), and I lost a friend in a violent death (which is a whole other side of grief). Anyway, your comparison to waves is exactly how our family has always described it--you put it perfectly, in my opinion. <br />And I still feel helpless when people I care about are grieving.

Quite a few people asked "How are you doing", and I believe for the most part they were sincere. Sometimes, I think we say things like that because we don't quite know WHAT to say. After dealing with Mom's death (but not "getting over" it), I have learned that one of the best things someone can do for you is listen . . . mouths shut, hearts open.siouxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730317473829541496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-73810946610754918572010-11-01T02:17:14.591-05:002010-11-01T02:17:14.591-05:00Jill, thanks so much for this post.

I think we don't talk about grief because we are so afraid of losing someone we love that maybe we think that if we ignore it then we'll somehow keep it from happening.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890581319164051879noreply@blogger.com
