Dear Cass,
I can't say that I know what it feels like to lose a spouse or child(Nothing I imagine can hurt the soul more). What I can say with authority and conviction--having been to many dark places which will remain unmentioned here---is that there will be horrible dreadful things--but also joyous wonderous things in life that --despite your greatest efforts to explain their purpose----the meaning will always excape a logical explaination. you will simply have to learn to accept them and move on with life. good things are often diguised as setbacks---and bad things are often beautiful to behold in the moment. As time marches on---this will hopefully become clearer and you'll see things in a new light. It's not in anyones power to predict your future---but I guarantee you're attitude will be a great influence in the overall outcome. People need each other during times of grief and trial and it's a positive move you've already made. I'm wishing you strength, wisdom, and resilience. Hang in there Cass. there's a lot of good things/people out there if you open your eyes. good luck.
