Love is never in vain. It will FEEL helpless, but it's not-- at all.

Very trues words, Susan.

Closure when referred to the loss of a loved one somehow doesn't fit.

Grief for me has been an ongoing process. Just when the sorrow, anger, pain are easing a bit something reminds you of the person lost and you are hit with the full force of the loss again.

But those events become fewer as time passes and you recover quicker from them. Meghan and family still have a long rough road ahead.
