He departed by withdrawing from family and friends. He focused only on his grief and could not see beyond that.<BR/><BR/>His departure was a negative model for me after my wife died. I learned that his way was not the grief path I needed to take.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870801278559338250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-34392058691297395532007-06-14T04:28:00.000-07:002007-06-14T04:28:00.000-07:00Such loveliness always has it's shadow side and in...Such loveliness always has it's shadow side and in the end we each make our choices which either lead to life or to death. We can only be there for each other whatever the choices we have made. You were her friend for a season and that's is all we can ever do, but it is also the best gift that we can ever give.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503806593016996438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-65219330683655036422007-06-14T03:01:00.000-07:002007-06-14T03:01:00.000-07:00Beautiful account of a nice friendship!Thanks for ...Beautiful account of a nice friendship!Thanks for sharing that and I sincerely hope that you find her again.God bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-757254478146709592007-06-12T23:18:00.000-07:002007-06-12T23:18:00.000-07:00I too wish you didn't have to write this and I'm s...I too wish you didn't have to write this and I'm sorry that you lost your dear friend.

I, too, lost such a friend last year. Our friendship started in dance classes at age 8. I cannot describe the pain I felt on learning she had passed away. May your good memories sustain you.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-63035540434438757502007-06-12T06:57:00.000-07:002007-06-12T06:57:00.000-07:00A very moving story, JoAnn.
