Has anyone of you suffered the loss of a loved one or a beloved pet in the past year or two ...and ?

good grief----- I have become so strong but then it was 30 years ago that I lost my dad ------ it took me 3 months to come out of depression and start working again. It is said that it makes you stronger but you live with such regrets ! How could he leave his princess behind ! Oh I wanted so much to go with him but I am still here and actually happy but no longer a princess ! so I guess I learnt that I am stuck here and have to survive and it is nicer to survive happier and he certainly would have wanted it to be that way........
