That isn't the best way to start the new year.
I don't believe someone has to act in a defined manner when dealing with a loss. Duties don't exist in that sense. Other than from time to time take a moment to remember the good (and the bad if one wants) about the person that has left us. My experience is that I don't even have to take such a moment. Regularly peeps that have left me, pass by in my mind, like at least two of them just passed by when writing this comment.
Anyway, have a safe drive today.
Wish your wife and you all the best in the coming period.
Thank you my friend ... appreciated. Having not been directly involved in person it is still all surreal.... but one finds out how permanent death is for the people remaining here. For the person who passed.... {shrug}.... who knows?
so true
