not sterile, still raw

Jean, what comfort you gave your dear friend throughout her illness. I am glad you were able to be with her when she passed. That she felt your love in that moment is surely one of the reasons she passed as peacefully as she did. Keeping you in my thoughts in this saddest of times.

Jean, you show us by example what the definition of friend really means. May happy memories of your friend soon replace the sorrow of her loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jean, I am thinking of you this morning. I hope it helps your heart that you were able to be with her as she made her last journey, and she did it peacefully. What an amazing, steadfast friend you have been to her all this time! You gave her what no one else could or would. She was loved and cared for until the last. I hope you are able to give yourself plenty of time to feel the emotions, and cherish the good memories you shared.

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful friend you are! May her memory live in your heart forever!
