I lost a dear friend to suicide this past week....
I am doing what I can to stay afloat...
I suppose that is all I can do...
Death ends a life, not a relationship.
----------- Jack Lemmon
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
------------ --C.S. Lewis
Mourning is not forgetting...It is an undoing. Every minute tie has to be untied and something permanent and valuable recovered and assimilated from the dust. The end is gain, of course. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be made strong, in fact. But the process is like all other human births, painful and long and dangerous.
---------------Mary Allingham (The Tiger In The Smoke - 1956)
