Anyway, it gives me comfort and sometimes clarity as to what I wish I could talk to him about.

So talk to her whenever the mood strikes...She might be listening. I am not religious and I don't know that there is anything beyond the beyond.. I dont' know that there isn't, either. <br /><br /> what a great place to walk and relax and talk and just sit with yourself for a while.

To this day, I can't explain why that was. <br /><br />Everyone grieves in their own way.. their own time.. at their own pace. It's a process but I think you (and your daughter's friend) have the right idea.<br /><br />It looks lovely where you are right now.

A lifetime of memories. I hope she is somewhere where she can understand how much she meant to me. The emotions certainly do come unexpectedly and your sharing is so welcome, Hilary.

She and I used to talk every day and I miss that. Know she is looking down and knows all, including why you were short with her in her final years. Take care and enjoy your vacation!!<br />Hugs<br />Roserosek1870https://www.blogger.com/profile/07270936087981149993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-26054108209953213052014-01-19T09:13:48.951-05:002014-01-19T09:13:48.951-05:00Yes to all of your thoughts today...I also talk to...Yes to all of your thoughts today...I also talk to my husband when he comes to mind which is most of the time. They are always with us I believe...we carry them in our hearts. A friend told me the other day after so much loss one starts to get comfortable with the juxtaposition of grief and joy in ones day to day life because it just is. I can see that to be true for me, otherwise we would not survive. Glad you got away to the warmth with your husband and Roy...soak it up and enjoy, as I know you will> Peace.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204047258371950042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-53899711236945537982014-01-19T08:46:19.042-05:002014-01-19T08:46:19.042-05:00hugs to you .. good advice that .. i still talk to...hugs to you .. good advice that .. i still talk to my mom she passed in 2001 3 months after my dad passed .. i didn't cry for either of them but have cried many times since .. i gave a mutual friend of ours advice recently i told her dont explain to anyone or to yourself, when that feeling of grief washes over you just let it ... just let it .. xoDarylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-71485555590445924832014-01-19T08:10:55.928-05:002014-01-19T08:10:55.928-05:00Morning, Hilary.

I would often call him on the way home, or from work mid-day and caught myself with my hand on the phone one day. What a good idea to just talk to them anyway. I really like that.<br /><br />You did the best you could do in a difficult situation, Hilary. Think of all the good you did. I sometimes think I didn't do my best. And then I beat myself up a little bit and get over it. I don't think we should beat ourselves up anymore.Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-9653654826042310982014-01-18T22:53:10.426-05:002014-01-18T22:53:10.426-05:00Yes, it's sooo good to do that.
