That is such a good question, I am still trying to figure this one out. I have shed a lot of tears over my parents and family. Glad you are learning how to make peace with it all. The pain in your heart may always be there, but then you wouldn't be human if it went away. All we can do is convince ourselves over and over again everyday that we wont let the pain control us or keep us from living our lives to the full. I dont know how old you are or if you have kids, but whatever your situation is, just fill your life with the things you love. Best of luck to you!
