With the death of a loved one comes loss. Everyone knows this. What I failed to realize is that it isn't only the person, but other people as well that you loose. Today I have a heavy heart for the people lost to us because of Miss Margaret's death.
When a death occurs, you loose the network that person provided you. The indirect means of communicating, of keeping up with one another. And now interactions will need to be intentional. I am realistic enough to know that most relationships will be lost.
Miss Margaret, I miss you and am only now being allowed to let down enough to feel my grief. How fortunate for me to have you as my mother-in-law for the past 5 years and 125 days. Luckily, I knew how special it was (having had a total ding-bat ditz formerly as a mother in law.) Thank you for loving me and making me feel so special. Mrs. G three.
