3. I'm so so sorry.

Whatever the issues are and the lack of contact - it still hits you deep down inside.

:hug:

I think it might be good for you to find a way to say goodbye. Spiritually, at least.

6. I'm so sorry, w8liftinglady!

Yes, it does hurt.
:(

If you could say goodbye to him, it would help
both of you.

I'm glad you called your friend from AA, you don't
need to be alone at a time like this.

Give yourself the time and space to grieve.

:hug:
