I, too, am thinking of you and wishing you and your friend's family peace and comfort. I read an essay once that has offered me comfort at such times. It compared our lost ones to a ship who has set sail. Upon reaching the horizon it is still strong and whole and as it was. It is still there as it sails beyond the horizon, but it's beyond our sight. Still there in our memory but beyond our sight headed for new shores.Carol Flatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280091225563623507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-46288516373775296652013-11-05T09:29:46.032-07:002013-11-05T09:29:46.032-07:00My deepest condolences on the loss of your friend....My deepest condolences on the loss of your friend.

Such a painful loss and healing takes time. Maybe you just need to paint on paper or in a journal and not do the "off with it's head" thing. Just leave what comes out of you as sort of a journal of the grieving process. Sending love.
