Pete and Aprille,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. No one who hasn't experienced a loss of
this magnitude can know the ongoing angst that is resultant. Ten months
since the loss of Helena, the love of my life, I still have days when I
wonder whether I will ever again be the man I was. Life does go on though,
as it must, and healing does occur, but slowly oh so slowly. My prayers are
with you in your time of grief.
Deano
