As a mother who buried one son at birth and then raised a son and loved for
29 years and then had to bury the pain is unbearable. You expect them to
bury you, it's so unnatural. But time does help, the pain never goes away,
just becomes livable.
My grandmother out lived all of her 15 step-children which she raised  and
all but one of her own children, the pain she went thru for me is
unbelievable. She has my up most respect for her courage and strength. Since
Jeff's death I've Thanked my Lucky Stars a thousand times she passed that
strength to me.
