Hi, Jim. I just wanted to stop by and say hello and give my support to you.
The waves of grief just seem to come out of nowhere and knock me down, too. Just let them come and let yourself feel the pain. Fighting back the emotion just makes it harder the next time. Every wave will get a little bit gentler if you let yourself feel it and then let it pass on through. You are going through something that is incredibly difficult and painful, and whatever you feel is completely normal.
(((Jim)))
