  4. So sorry to hear this. No matter how old or infirm parents might be when they leave us, the loss is incomparable. We become aged orphans, the end of the line. It’s huge. Be kind to yourself, and mourn as long as you need to and however it feels right.

    You’ve brought so much solace to your followers over the years. Thank you for every post.
