Has anyone REALLY important to you die when you were young?

If I may have your permission to add a few notes, I'm a counselor of mental health and within these last two decades there has been numerous events when family members have deceased. My children's mother died when they were ages 10-14. From a personal stand point this was the biggest hurdle for myself and family. There are stages which we enter and progress is usually in a matter of time. Acceptance is the one we see at last, mine was about 10 years. Dreams of my late wife had surfaced occasionally and wonderfully to know love hasn't went away. Time will heal the torn elements of your emotions while others will replace the old. As you mature in age you'll develop a more precise out look and be less introspective. Good Day....
