Grief is a cruel mistress until we realize that it is the price we must pay for love. Patrick

Found my father my very best friend dead in his apt. He couldn't pay his bills so he took a bottle of pills. It has been three years and the vision is still there like yesterday...I have had so many friends say they understand my pain but haven't lost a parent. You only know the pain when it has happened to you. You have written perfectly the steps one takes when they are faced with death. Only one that has had this happen to them could write these words. I do feel an emptiness inside but know life goes on....love, and peace always! Chessly

So true, so real. The words jump off the page to console those in grief. A powerful, understanding write that is SO on target. Very good, Annabel.

A powerful, yet beautiful write. Grief grips us so deep that one wonders how they can ever face tomorrow. May God bless you every day of your life.

Wow again! Your topic here spans and very nicely done in spelling it out on paper. Congratulations on this one. No pain greater than that of the survivor.

Insightful prose, Anna. I think the master plan should have been thought out a bit longer, though.

THIS NEEDS TO BE PRINTED AND USED IN EVERY 'GRIEF' SEMINAR AND MEETING THAT IS HELD ACROSS THE GLOBE. A FINE, WELL WORDED SHARING FILLED WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR IMAGERY, WITH EVERY PHRASE BEING A SOURCE OF EMPATHY AND GENUINE, CONSOLING LOVE. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS MOST WELL DONE AND FOREVER TIMELY, WORK. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

Whenever I lose someone I love or I thought of as a friend, the first feeling I feel is that of there is now a hole in my universe where that person recently was. I do, I actually sense a black hole and a sense of non reclaimable loss. This recently was the case with a friend that I rode bicycles with. He wasn't loved by me, but he was liked and each morning when I set out with the group that I ride with, I sense a hole where my friend David was. I assume that you have recently lost a loved one... Iam sorry.
Your friend; Mark
