soul, I know very completely and thorougly what you're going through because a fairly similiar situation happened to me not too long ago.

Emotions are funky things, when it happened I went through a few stages from apathy to panic to regret. All the colors of the rainbow....

But fear not, it all passes through in its own time and you become a stronger person for it.

A young woman worked with a long time ago through the Center for the Disabled just passed away. I've often wondered about her, and I'm pleased(?) to see she lived so long, although her life was cruelly short.

When I last saw her she was just getting hooked up to the internet through a computer that was donated anonymously to her through work. That had to have been 8 years ago or more. Reading her online condolences page made me feel better about not having seen her since then -- it is filled with loving tributes from all over the world. She made many close online friends.

I am so grateful that her world opened up through the internet and the gift of that computer, and she got to know and love so many others, and especially that so many others got to know and love her.

June 1st 1980.. 27 years ago
Today is a rather macabre anniversary.. it is the day I watched three people I loved most in the world die.. I was 13 going on 14 at the time.. I saw my Dad, my sister, and my aunt Dell die.. I still miss them.. there are just some things that you just don't get over.. sure the pain is mostly gone.. and the visions don't hurt as much.. but I still see them.. the day still replays in my mind, except that hours go by in seconds.. but it feels like it was a full day.. on replay..
Much has happened in 27 years and I spend the day thinking on that as ell and how things would have been different.. but I don't think they would have been better...

One of my best friends just called. Her brother (barely 20 y.o.) has been visiting her (he lives in Australia), and she found him dead this morning. An epileptical seizure, apparently. I can't believe this happend. And she still haven't processed Synnøve's death (my best friend). This is just too much...

Thank you. I just talked to her again. She's got plenty of people around her, and she's flying home first thing tomorrow. I just wish I was closer, but there's just so much I can do.
