Susan K., thanks for the links, I enjoyed reading them. Part of the reason I got over my hesitation over posting about my father-in-law’s death was thinking how even though it’s ordinary and everyone goes through it, it’s still human pain, it’s still something we all deal with, and part of blogging is about reaching out and sharing how we deal with it in common and uncommon ways. I appreciate your reaching out and sharing. I stayed up late last night feeling off-kilter and out of it. I can only imagine what my husband is feeling.

I appreciate everyone’s comments and thoughts here, it makes me feel a little less out of phase.

Anne, oh this is tough, and my heart goes out to you and Rick and your children. My boyfriend’s mother just died a few weeks ago, so I’m in the midst of the S.O. walk through this valley of the shadow of death. It’s a time of hurting and of goodness, where the response to things that make one feel so powerless is to find satisfaction in doing good and treating others well.

No doubt you’ve a zillion things to do than to read posts linked to in your comment thread, but I wrote a couple of short posts about my experience:

There is Music
I’m so glad you did this, so glad

Wishing you and yours solace and support,

Susan

So sorry, Anne. All choked up. My father will have passed 20 years ago this summer, but the heartache still haunts me. Thanks for sharing.
