Warm love to you as you progress through this and process.

I was having a discussion about my estranged siblings and family members moments before I saw this that you wrote. Beautiful expression.

We naturally draw a line to the next event when those lost to us are still alive. And that next event is hearing of a serious event and death. Yes, because the burden is usually on the one that is pushed out and has to get away from the dysfunction, it is precious validation to feel support and example of how you have and are navigating this. Thank you for sharing your experience.
