It is very helpful to share grief with others, because most often grief seems so lonely. I am in the middle of it now. I just lost my daddy 4 months ago from a stroke. He was 65 and far too young in my opinion. Being around friends that don't mind talking about it helps. Thanks for your post because just when you think that your alone again someone else reminds you that others are going through the same thing. I am sorry for your loss.
