6. Sending some good energy your way
Fri Feb 10, 2012, 07:30 AM
Feb 2012

If it makes you feel any better, what you are going through is something we all eventually run into (or we are the ones who die first). It's hard to imagine that such events (life and death) are "normal", and that we're expected to cope with them.

Though you'll never replace your loss, I hope you can see your way through to some new adventure eventually. In the meantime, hang in there as best you can, and don't be too isolated.

I have a longtime friend whose wife had breast removal and reconstruction today (!!). I think her cancer was Stage III, and I've been worried all day about them. No news yet.

Good luck to you, and keep reaching out to people.
