Thank you for your kind words of compassion. It's been 5 years, but I can still recall that coroner's visit like it just happened. Most days are okay, our "new normal." Some days are worse, but fewer and farther between. It helps me thinking of how joyful and funny he was and how he would go out of his way to make someone laugh, even total strangers. I try to keep his joy in my heart. Bless you for caring.
