Praying for your comfort. Celebrate your retirement and then give yourself time to grieve for your best friend. You gave her the gift of peace and you were there for her. She cried, but you shouldered the pain of letting her go to be at rest. As I wrote earlier, this is the ultimate act of compassion.
