(((Brenda)))My heart aches for you. I imagine it is much harder for you to go through this agonizing departure because you have so long to get acquainted with this partial person who used to be whole. If you try very hard to focus on who and what your father was maybe it will help you to separate the two people better.Try not to let your wonderfully clear memories become clouded with grief over what might have been if only...he lives as you remember him. That will always be true. This has helped me cope with loss of those I care about throughout my life, whether gradual or sudden.Respectfully,
