I don't think you ever completely get over the death of a loved one.
I lost my DH and DD 13 years ago. I'm doing well but occasionally something comes out of the blue and knocks me for six.
Hope you feel better now -- sometimes it's good to have a good cry.

Sorry to hear that, sunseekeer, but I think it's entirely understandable. I don't think we ever become entirely reconciled to the death of a loved one. Hope you are feeling better now.

My late DH ran his own business and this morning I received a phone call from one of his suppliers asking if we would like to order from their new stock. I explained that the business had ceased trading as DH had died 8 years ago. When I hung up I immediately burst into tears!

I realise the company had no way of knowing - although not receiving an order for 8 years should have told them something - and they immediately apologised. What I can't understand is my reaction to that phone call - I am not particularly depressed and thought I had come to terms with his death - but obviously not completely.
