So very sorry for your loss. The first month after my son unexpectedly passed are a blur in my memory banks. I remember staying busy with the funeral arrangements and then my friends took care of keeping me busy with various activities, but nothing can fill that void of the loss of a loved one. Be kind to yourself. Prayers for peace for you and your family as you search for your "new normal."
