Year 9 for me - so I should be 3 times further removed from all this than you - LOL! Truthfully - we each move through it at our own pace and in our own way - no right, no wrong as each situation is different.

At this time from one Canadian to another just want to wish you a happy holiday season. It is so nice to hear that you have such a warm relationship with your daughters and such a strong faith. This will help you immensely in the years to come.

Each year gets easier as time and acceptance help us along. I would like to wish you a wonderful Christmas and the best year ever in 2010.

Cheers! (I AM first on your new thread)
