I'm so sorry. I think the most helpful thing one of the hospice people said to me when my father died was that you grieve for someone because you love them and they are gone but when you are done grieving you will find that they are still here because whatever made you love them is what you have or will incorporate into your own life. For instance, you'll see something funny and think "That would have really made my Dad laugh." and realize that you're laughing just like him.
