I'm sure there are no words that can be said sufficiently enough to take away your pain...but we all wish there were.... Perhaps it's enough there are those familiar here with this loss themselves, understanding fully the depths of what you're feeling and thinking as you stumble around trying to keep yourself together.
May the God of comfort be especially close to you now and the weeks ahead. He surely knows your pain and is acquinted with your grief and sorrow.....
Thank you so much.
Sorry I didn’t reply sooner but the funeral I dreaded all my life happened and was as miserable as I thought. But Joy’s sister and brother and old friends arrived and really did help my suffering this week.
I am thankful Joy did not suffer a long time——it was within a couple of minutes I believe. That is a blessing I will accept more and more in the coming days, I think.
Still, the empty apartment and the quiet is terrible. 47 years of love ripped away except in wonderful memories, though. And to NEVER see Joy in this lifetime again or tell her funny or interesting things she might like, is anxiety producing.
Thanks for your condolences, my FRiend.
