thanks a lot Maran for your support. i decided that i should come back. though i do seriously mourn over the lost of my fav aunt/friend of the family. i know what she would have wanted and that is to live my life. i havent completely healed but im just fighting that feeling to break down. the funny thing that happened the same day she died was it snowed. it never EVER snows in the area where i live but that day it was so beautiful and when i first stepped out and snow hit me on my hand I just knew God took her to a good place. again thanks Maran for your support becaus eit really meant an awful lot to me!!!!!

I apologize for not noticing this thread earlier to show my support. I know that lossing loved ones is hard, and everyone deals with it in his or her own way.

Your story about the snow too is simply touching and beautiful. I have a slightly similar one to share with you. My grandmother passed away a year and a half ago. She loved birds, would feed them everyday and so on. During her funeral mass,when we observing a moment of silence, all of a sudden I heard birds begin chirping. Through the window above where the casket lay, there were several birds sitting and chirping happily, bathing in the windowsill in the rain water that had collected there the night before. I know it seems silly, but I honestly thought it was a sign that she had moved on to a better place beyond this world.

My condolences for this tough time, and I hope my story too brings some comfort to you.

thanks also Matsutzu and thanks for the apology but it really isnt necessary. and your story is extremely touching and i do believe that was a sign. haha the fact that i opened up like this is so not like me. i hardly ever get to show this side of me. that aside your story brings great comfort to me. thanks everyone who has spared such kind words.

No problem, donaldb22. Live, love, loss.. these kinds of things are the comonality of human existance. We all go through them. While we may not always have the right words to discuss them, we've all gone through it, so we can all relate and in that way, understand.

understood

Hello donald i just wanted to say sorry i have not seen this topic earlier. I offer my condolences to you and your family. I hope time will heal all your wounds. But just remember as you pointed out your aunt/friend would want u to be happy and not to stay down in the dumps. Just remember all the good times you have had with her and remember she will always be with you in your heart.
