Yesterday
I know the loss of a parent no matter either anticipated or unexpected opens a hole which will never completely close. But all of you will together begin to fill that hole. At the beginning grief begins to fill the hole but soon memories which brings smiles, laughs or tears will cover the grief and fill the hole almost to the top. Thinking of you all since our last messenger chat. My heart aches for your mom and all she leaves behind. But my heart is also filled with joyful peace for her release and the adventure we all go toward. It really doesn't get better. But it does become different. Love, Susan E. Van Hyning
