Thank you. It's really okay, for the best, but you have to process everything, even if it's the best for everyone involved. :)

Oh, my darling... if we were closer, I'd be at your door with a bottle of wine and hugs...so many, many hugs.

Oh, thanks. I’ve worked through it, for the most part. Writing the book helps. But it would be lovely to see you on my doorstep for any reason!

So sad. Processing grief through writing is a healthy balm though, and there will be readers who will find solace there, too.

Yeah, we all go through it. Grief is the inevitable consequence of love. :)

Oh, it feels like I could've written this. I am still in mourning over a long & beloved friendship that seems to be gone from my world. Let this goodbye book be a gift to aching hearts.
