Subject: RE: BS: grief and thanksgiving
Mike, Since I lost my own 15 y/o daughter the same way 2 months ago, I do know what your friend and you are going through. I really wish I had the words or way to make it all better. If it wasn't for friends and even strangers offering kindness and support, I think I'd have gone crazy. To quote the priest at my daughter's funeral, "It's a pain you 'll always carry. But know that you'll never have to carry it alone. There are many who will walk with you and remember with you". These words have helped me and I hope they can provide you and your friend some solace. My prayers go with you tonight. James
