My dear friends Bill and Dolly, There are no words. I am so sorry that you must endure this horrific loss. They say (meaning well, of course) that time heals all wounds. That is, assuming you have the time it takes. I don't think any of us have that much time to heal from such a devastating loss. Unfortunately, I am speaking from experience. I lost my precious daughter, Emily, six and a half years ago at the tender age of 25. I can share with you this much; in a few years laughter will return, joy will eventually replace sorrow when remembering her, and life will find a "new normal" and you will function as you did before. The key is survival. That is where your faith comes into play. Without faith I am afraid it will be infinitely difficult. If you have a strong belief in whatever it is you pray to, I call it God, for lack of a better name/term, your chances of survival increase exponentially. May you be filled with the faith you need to survive and that your creator will make you whole, once again. With all my heart and love, your friend, Bruce Johne
