Matt's funeral was on Tuesday, August 31st, and Russ' memorial was Sunday, August 29th. Each family feels the loss. They return to work; answer the same questions over and over; and politely listen to platitudes meant to comfort. At home families try to keep Matt's parents and Russ' wife busy with dinners and handling the nagging loose ends, aware that most of it seems unimportant. Therefore the families make those decisions.
At night anger, guilt, tears, and laughter repeat and repeat in random loops. It will be all right, won't it? There will be a time when the heart will heal, right?
I live near the mountains and spend part of the week walking around in the mountains with friends to clear my mind of some of the junk from the demands of the day. If you enjoy time with people sharing ideas, please join me in this on-line conversation ... Pretend we are in my home; pull up a chair; let's share.
