I just wanted to say that condolences absolutly help! When Bandit died no one in my "real" world understood what I was feeling. As I read, even a simple "Sorry to hear" each one touched my heart and helped me to heal.
the funny thing is, when my mom died 4 years ago I was terrible at condolences. I just wanted people to stop talking about it. Every time someone brought up her passing I would just start crying again. I hated getting cards in the mail. It was just too painful. But, after a few weeks when my mind started to accept what had happened I did appreciate every kind word. I guess it's different for every person. |
