On May the 1st my Uncle Will lost his fight against kidney and liver failure. After an additional 12 days in the hospital he passed away from heart failure. I was so close to him, and it hurts like someone took a sledgehammer to my chest, but is there an up from here? How do we KNOW he's in a better place? How do we KNOW he isn't hurting anymore? No one can know those things.

Faith tells us things that our minds cannot know. Support for you from me as you begin the process of grieving this loss through. May there be peace for your heart.

There is bereavement group here. They really helped me after my sister died:

One big lesson I learned is that there is NOT a standard grieving cycle with a mandated order that one goes through things.

Gentle hugs
