ddickinson: I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your family friend. It is nice that you have each other for support, and that you have been trying to pass the time with some fun games and bad tv.

omega64: My condolences.
Good luck.
pimpmonkey2382.313: *Hugs Akhliber* Damn, I'm sorry for you and your lady. :(
Thanks so much, all of you. :) She's handling things much better today, which is good to see. Today we're working on shifting away from grieving and toward celebrating time had. She's been laughing over childhood memories as we go through pictures and is just doing much better overall. I feel I take to loss too easily, and it makes me fear I'm cold at times... I think it's just that I've always seen life as a temporary thing and that we're small and nearly insignificant in the grand scheme of life and time, and have never really learned to get attached, even to those I care about. Loss is a natural part of life, it's just hard to see those we love suffer. It's really good to see her able to find those good moments again so soon.
**Apologies for the blanket reply instead of replying individually, and for rambling about un-fun lifestuffs so much. I'm about to put on some records and do a bit of cleaning, then likely play a bit more Dex while the lady takes a lunchtime nap. :)
Much love to you all.
