I'm so sorry to read about your losses. I often feel like death/grief causes a rift in the space-time continuum for those of us left behind, and you have beautifully encapsulated that here.
Speechless. About how good this is. That you could write it, now. I thought this was only normal life for me. People are dropping, as are all pretenses that people actually care or are able to even care about each other. This is not normal. Hang in there, Amy. Get louder.
I am so sorry about all your losses you've endured. Sudden deaths are the worst, no chance to say goodbye in advance (selfishly, I realize that it's easier for the survivors, but not for those facing a terminal condition). I'm coming up on almost one year since my younger brother suddenly died; he wasn't quite two years older than Jeff. Still too young. Take care of those affected by the deaths - I know you will - but take care of yourself as well.
Thank you for the condolences, Amy. Very much appreciated. But you've had several losses close together and that's very tough overall. We once had a year and half of that and it was hard. Fortunately, we had good friends and neighbors who helped us get through it (didn't live close to any family). I hope you are experiencing the same sort of help!

Thank you. Yes, maybe that’s it, a rift!

Gorgeous reflection. Wishing you and your loved ones all the best in this difficult time.

Sorry for your losses. Thankfully you have many memories to sustain the grieving process.
Thank you Linda! Indeed, I am grateful for the memories.

Thank you Aimee! I swear I replied to this but the internet ate it. So sorry to know about your brother. That must be very rough.
