Death A friend died last night

[Swift]

So sorry for your loss.
It sounds like you really made a difference to this man while he was alive.

I am doing better. I watched a Tara Brach talk on grief and loss. It was helpful. My friend sister sent me a few things of Karen’s. I wanted to cry, but I believe I’ve dried up. The pain in the heart has disappeared. I’m working, kinda slow, but not giving up. Take good care and I think a little bit each day and that some will be easier than others. My PTSD makes it nearly impossible for me to form relationships that are safe. So I only have a few trusted friends. Maybe for me the lesson here was to try to make more connections and cherish them all.

I spoke with his family today and got hugged again and told how special I am. I prayed for help with this job, before I started it, so I am glad that God's love shined through me to him and them. They are writing me a letter of recommendation, which is greatly appreciated. They said they also are sending one to my boss. Oh how sweet!

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. But glad that you are working through the grieving process and that his family is supportive of you. My oldest bestie died a few years ago but she left me with lots of her family members who are awesome. It's really a blessing to grieve together and just talk about all other things.

There was a great write-up about him in the paper this week (on the front page), and his obit was really special too. I will save these, including a nice photo of him that was taken a year ago or so and another one that was taken when he was in the service. Man! Was he handsome!
