I really like your story too, and I am sorry that I don't post and say that more often! Hang in there, things will get better!!! I should know, I lost both my parents 7 weeks apart last year plus about eight more people that I knew and was fond of, but the toughest were my parents! It's just not the same without them here and I will always miss them terribly! But it is very true that life must go on, and day-by-day it gets easier. The hardest day recently for me my the first year anniversary of my mother's death in January. I still have to face my father's passing next month, and I know it will be tough too, but I will get through it. Writing gave me solice through the period of my worst grief - a kind of sanctuary, if you will! I hope things get easier for you soon!
