I just discovered a wonderful blog http://snickollet.blogspot.com/. This mom of twins just lost her husband last night to pancreatic cancer. Tertia (www.tertia.org) suggested that we light candles on our blogs for her. My mother lost my father when she was just in her 30's, and she had 4 young children. I was only 5. My father died more suddenly than snickollet's GH died, but he had a very bad heart, and several near-misses, so his death was not a shock to anyone. I can't help but think of my mother as I read this blog, and of myself as a young child losing my father. It is a beautiful blog, and I am so very sorry for this family, but the love and strength shine through the words, and I know they will get through it, as we did. I just wish no one had to "get through" such things, and I wish that I could appreciate my wonderful life more, instead of suffering through what can only be called the mid-life crisis I've been fighting the last few weeks.
I had a hard time reading of Snick's loss. Perhaps, because like you, it hits just a bit too close to home.
