I lost a cousin when I was twenty-five and he was 24. I recently saw his dad, and for the first time, we spoke about his loss. It had been over 30 years, but the tears were fresh.

So very true Elizabeth! The relationship never ends because the love never ends ❤️

Some of my favorite and most helpful books:

Healing After Loss, Daily Meditations by Martha Hickman

When Bad Things Happen To Good People? by Harold Kushner

Healing a Parent’s Grieving Heart, 100 Practical Ideas by Alan Wolfelt (he has a whole series for different grievers - siblings, children, spouse, etc.)
