I didn't get a notification that there was a comment to this post and when I saw it and published it I was (and still am!) in the middle of a conference. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your heartfelt words, and no, I didn't know about your dad. I send you my deepest condolences.<br /><br />These words of yours touch me and I wholeheartedly agree:<br /><br />"I guess the fact that one loss is tied to all the others is a beautiful thing because it means we never forget and it reminds us how lives are intricately interwoven. Mostly, it reminds me anyway that the love never ends."<br /><br />Thank you!

It's one of the main reasons why I try to advocate for those dealing with metastatic breast cancer. Every time I learn of another death, it reopens the wounds from my mother's and my family's experience. Every loss does indeed revive the others. Every loss feels personal. And as you may or may not know, my dad died recently, and that has reactivated the pain of loss on so many levels. I am sorry your dad died when you were so young. That is incredibly sad. And the young man you mentioned who took his own life...what can I even say? I guess the fact that one loss is tied to all the others is a beautiful thing because it means we never forget and it reminds us how lives are intricately interwoven. Mostly, it reminds me anyway that the love never ends. Thank you for writing this. So timely for me. xxNancy's Pointhttp://www.nancyspoint.comnoreply@blogger.com
