Dear Brenda, I'm so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. Though I've been there, I'll never say I know how you feel, I don't because we all feel things differently. I do know that it hurts almost unbearably and you wonder how you'll go on.I'll share a few things that have stuck with me. One friend simply said,"just breathe" I found myself forgetting to do even that, at time.When another friend was asked how she managed to survive she said, " I didn't want to, I just kept waking up every morning." I pray that you'll just keep waking up and continuing to breathe and eventually it will all become bearable. God Bless you and please call if ever you just need someone to cry with. You aren't alone in your grief. Madonna
