At first, you’ll feel as if a huge hole has opened up in front of you. But slowly the edges will soften and the hole will start to fill up. As time goes on, you won’t fall into it quite so often and eventually you’ll be able to stand on the edge and look into it. Remember, grief is the price we pay for love. Be kind to yourselves – the first year will be the hardest – and love yourselves as much as I love you.
