There are never enough answers to take away the pain. Only time and loving can do that.

But now I am really shaken to learn about the terrible fate that has befallen you and all the suffering that must have preceded the final crescendo. Please accept my condolences and my best wishes for a future that will slowly brighten up again. It may sound hollow at present, but I am sure you have the strength to live through this and recover as far as possible under the circumstances.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>SabineSabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828881412607899172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013064214823476254.post-52729048916437709952008-10-16T10:38:00.000-07:002008-10-16T10:38:00.000-07:00Oh, Im so soryy and am so glad you had the courage...Oh, Im so soryy and am so glad you had the courage to express your grief.

You show us how it is possible to reveal even the most horrendous tragedy through the work of our hands. You allow us to share your sadness to know what it is to lose a husband and a son and miss them so much. I hope it is also a gift to yourself and that you can allow our support into your heart.<BR/><BR/>I hesitate to add that my husband, too, has been on Dr. prescribed painkillers for 2 years, with resulting and increasing depression and reclusiveness. What happend to you is a wake-up call to me that I need to ask him if he ever has a notion to take "too many."

No matter how they pass. I am so sorry for your loss, and to have lost twice in such an unnecessary way is beyond my imagination. I hope your beads give you some measure of escape.
