@retiredteacher Carol, thank you for your compassionate response. One thing I have never felt is guilt, I had no part in her untimely death. That she should not have died though just makes me so very sad. I get tears in my eyes when I think of her, and her loved ones. Also, there are parallels between her and my daughter that are almost eerie. These coincidences make think about how I would feel if it was my daughter. Her husband sounds like he may never get over his wife’s passing. It’s been more than two years now and it’s obvious that the pain is still very raw. Although I didn’t actually “know” her, I grieve for her.
