He was really proud of me. I am sure you understand when I say I worried I wouldn't have any one lovee so unconditionally but that's not true.
I know you've suffered your own loss and gone on to find joy - I hope Mum does too as she finds everything a bit colourless without him.
I totally understand! I felt almost 'abandoned' in the beginning, thoughts like 'how dare he leave me'! That feeling came and went! I know I will never find a love like that again, but am super blessed with wonderful friends and family who have helped create this new 'world' for me. I am sure your Mum will find a different kind of joy as well!
Time heals and takes the edge off the pain, just like a wound, and while it takes longer for some, one thing that doesn't go away, is the missing!
