Sheila, my heart broke when I read that you lost Darren. I recalled many stories of both your sons, when we worked at Whispering Pines Hospice.
Words are inadequate, we both know that children are supposed to bury
their parent and not the other way around. I know the hurt, from personal
experience. My deepest condolences for your loss.
Your former co-worker!
