That's it exactly and that is what grief truly is. The deeper the love the bigger the hole grief creates. People who don't get it can do their best service by keeping their mouths shut.
@HellsBelle I do and there are different levels depending the relationship. I was with my dad in the hospital with the palliative care team because he was at stage nothing could be done. I think being part of that experience made things easier for me. We had a good relationship but of course it was emotionally different than with my mother. She literally instantly dropped dead while eating lunch. Fortunately she wasn't alone. That was very hard for me. But losing Vickie? 2 years and 4 months ago that hole in my soul is like no other. 2 failed marriages I cheating girlfriend. Vickie and I came together from the same circumstances except she was physically abused. Our personalities were different like separated puzzle pieces that fit perfectly when put together. I have the satisfaction of knowing her years with me were her happiest told to me by her daughter after her passing.
