Carmel,
Devestation has entered your life, as mine spins along like yours was a few days ago. Why? It happens, we say, until it happens closer to home, like it has to you.
Tonight I shall walk through my house an extra time or two, as I have already since reading your post. I will look at my children and be reminded, yet again, that we are not permanent.
Carmel, I wish I could help. No man should loose a mother and child on the same day. Your husband and you will need each other more than ever.
I held what I still had after a terrible loss many years ago. What you still have will help you see the daffodils bloom again, in time.
Bill
