How fortunate for your friend and her family that you were there, yet, I am sure it has been a very sad adjustment to make as you came home. You are right, I believe, she would want you to come home and have your life. May you find peace in your own beautiful place.<br />MarciaMsGrayseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904170938207154612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-2775566038905871582014-09-08T21:04:10.700-02:302014-09-08T21:04:10.700-02:30How hard it is to face loss, how difficult to dete...How hard it is to face loss, how difficult to determine our own role in the face of it. You are brave to come home and face the loss of your friend from afar, but you are right in thinking that our usefulness can be more helpful if we simply keep on being who and what we are. The living must go on living despite the dying others are doing. May you find strength in your own doings.

Though death (my own) only took on importance once I became a mother. That was the moment from which it actually REALLY mattered that I was alive.<br /><br />I feel for you, WWW. If, and when, longest standing friend (LSF) snuffs it - and it can only be a matter of time - there'll be a hole in my life as big as you are unlikely to find in a Swiss cheese. Not as big a hole if the Angel snuffed it - but huge. <br /><br />The comparison with Emmental not far fetched. As people start either fading away, indeed dying - how dare they -, the fabric of our life does become like lace. Lots of holes. Beautiful nevertheless.<br /><br />Weak comfort, WWW: Let's be grateful not only that there are people in our lives whose loss we do/will mourn but, more importantly, that they were there at all.<br /><br />Hug,<br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-51903999792852885422014-09-07T22:22:38.596-02:302014-09-07T22:22:38.596-02:30Devastating.
