When I lost my mum and dad this was given to me on a card hope it helps DEATH is nothing at all I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I,and you are you. Whatever we were to each other we still are.Call me by my old familiar name,speak to me in the easy way which you always used.Put no difference into your tone,wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile,think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,let it be spoken without effect, without the shadow of a ghost in it. Life means all that it ever meant.It is the same as it ever was;there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval,somewhere very near just around the corner..... ALL IS WELL You are in my thoughts ad my prayers are with you

Brian You dont have to let her go. But the pain will be less raw, and easy to deal with, she will always be in your heart and your mind, and when the pain does lessen, you will find you are not holding on so tightly. It doesnt mean that you are forgetting her or are growing apart from her. It means you are doing as she wished, living your life, moving on and being happy, with her spirit beside you making sure you behave yourself. Like I said, my dad grieved for my mum, met my stepmum, never forgot my mum, now is alone for the past 3 years. He now finds he wants company and im happy for him, as I know mum & stepmum are. ( and sitting "up there" with their rolling pins lol) Elaine x
