HI Shannon, I know....it's so awful. I mean I was just talking with my husband last night about it. This is my first loss like this and I am scared to death knowing it's not my last. I ache, really bad and can't believe that this is something that everyone on this earth experiences. You can I have a lot in common with the age of our parents and our age. I wish I had more time but I think that would be totally selfish as she has a lot of pain losing her Mom and husband 5 years ago within 6 months of each other. I was also sad but not like this......well, time yes.....I just can't wait to feel "normal" again......it's the strangest I have ever felt and the most alone I have ever felt in my life......it's still unreal....still like a bad dream......thanks for sharing your loss, why I find comfort in knowing that there are others in my same position I will never know cause I sure would pray that no one would ever feel this way.....

Thanks :)
