Thank you. The death of a loved one always leaves a void. The death of a child is devastating. As they say, in the scheme of things, The parents should go first.
That isn't to say it is any easier for the children… even adult children. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard to let go, isn't it? My parents, biological and step, are all gone now. I occasionally have dreams of one or the other. It leaves me sad when I wake up. On those days though, I feel them with me closer than ever after the dreams.
There are strange times too, when I'm out and about. I will see a man who looks so much like my father, I have actually almost walked up to him to talk before I remember that he has been gone over 30 years now. There was one day when I was in a store and the lady in front of me at the checkout line looked so much like my mother. Of course, I knew that she couldn't possibly, but it was a good feeling… until she turned around. She looked nothing like her.
Pet Semetary really is a good story. Every child should lose a pet before losing people in their lives. Not that it's easier to lose a pet. In my experience, it's somewhat harder! Dying is a part of living though. It's something we need to learn to accept, and as you say, grieving is a part of the process. The memorial service also helps with closure. That was the reason for the "Semetary"
The burial ground beyond, while such a temptation, was such a cheat. When you think it over, only the weak and the selfish would try that out. Once tried, the temptation to try it again, to see if one could get it right,was just too great. Louis Creed really was damned when he buried his daughter's cat up there beyond the Semetary.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

In some ways I'm glad that it's not something I have in my future because it's already happened, does that sound weird?
Not weird at all. I think that looking at the future and dreading the unknown is frightening. We even work ourselves up just wondering how we will handle things in the aftermath. Somehow, most of us do what we have to do, deal with what what has been left behind and manage to get on with our lives. The people we have lost really would want it that way.

Thank you Nettie. While that happened a little over 50 years ago, I still have to wonder sometimes what things would be like if he was around.
