Its been over a month now. March 11th, to be exact. At 12:35 pm on a bright sunny day my heart dissappeared into a blackness thats not leaving.

How can Jake be a memory? He was so much more than that!

It hurts. I can't escape.

One day, though, when the pain has lessened I will come here and try to help others!

Jake's Mom

My best friend died almost exactly one day before Jake. I know how you feel. This has been the longest five weeks of my life. It feels more like five months. I miss Sidney so much.

I tell myself over and over and over that the pain that I am feeling now is nothing compared to all of the wonderful years that we had together. A very small price to pay. And, I've even almost convinced myself that it's true.

I hope that you find peace.

And Jake is more than a memory... He still exists, just not in the physical form that you crave to hold.

When it's your time to pass, you'll be reunited. ..But I know it's hard now.

Keeping you in my prayers,

Love,
Kathy
