6. Every day is a challenge for some of us. Sometimes it does get better with time. Maybe it all will.

I lost my father on Christmas day, 1998. Talk about one hell of a Christmas present. I missed him terribly for the first several years and the pain diminished as the years went on.

I lost Joyce two years ago. We had been together for 23 years. That left an emptiness in my life that I may never be able to fill.

Regarding your "letting him down," you don't know the amount of comfort and support you gave him. Some during his last days and most throughout your life. That you feel it was inadequate, doesn't mean he felt the same about the love you gave him.
