I think of her often but never bring her name into a conversation. I also never realized how much her death effected your future relationships. I hope writing this was freeing for you. Free to love new friends and your family without reservation. I love your honesty.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960867818433885957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234122301279138632.post-91821223893931247592010-04-07T08:00:55.319-04:002010-04-07T08:00:55.319-04:00Wow, Jemma, I am so sorry about the loss of your d...Wow, Jemma, I am so sorry about the loss of your dear friend. I think sometimes friends grieve more because they know that person in such an intimate way, whereas family doesn't always know them in such a deep way. I understand not wanting to get close to people for fear that you will lose them. Paul said that to me after his mom died, and it really took a toll on our marriage. Thankfully, he has given intimacy another chance and I hope you will find a way to do so too. I am really glad that I have met you and hope to get to know you better!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322945701069268672noreply@blogger.com
