I’d love to say I understand what you’re trying to get at, but am at somewhat of a loss. You mention the child and Tish, no longer to be enjoyed. It’s true, both are absent from our lives. However, I’m more of the opinion that it’s the life that the child, and Tish, enjoyed while they were present in our lives that matters most. You, Amigo are the one to most suffer from their absence. But I wonder, if they were here to speak for themselves, whether they would not simply state that they had enjoyed a wonderful life for the time allotted them. The stress of their absence just left is for us to deal with. You’re doing well amigo. Keep it up…. x

I wasn’t intending to speak for them or about those of us left with the loss of a loved one. I was intending to look at the idea of illness being caused by stress. Seems to me using stress as an explanation is not helpful with others and is more likely to be damaging. It may be useful to apply to oneself.

Am I making sense?
