Sheila and Gloria=20
I wanted to say thanks and it was hard talking to her but I know it
meant a lot to her by me doing so.  I plan to check up on her in the
next couple of days.  I just don't want to do it right away and make it
any worse. =20
I know what you mean Sheila by talking to her about reliving the pain
and boy I sure did.  I cried almost the whole time I talked to her.  I
was fine when I talked to her father in-law and her husband but it was
her that I lost it the most.  I guess it was the fact that I had been in
her shoes and I knew how she was feeling.  You two are awesome thanks.
I think we are going to have to do another get together sometime this
summer it was nice to meet everyone and I enjoyed it. Thanks again you
two I felt a lot more comfortable with how our conversation went that
night.=20

Marianne,
Wow, that must have been really hard.  I'm sure that you were a good =20
listener and I know that just having you make the phone call was =20
comfort to her.  Just remember back.  Anyone who calls or comes over =20
is a great relief and brings you some peace.  God knows how hard it =20
is to talk about our sorrow so he sometimes just wants us to be =20
there.  I'm sure that you said and did the right things.  Not just =20
because I'm saying the words, but because I've met the caring person =20
that you are.

You might want to tell her that just being with her makes you relive =20
all of the pains and joy you had with Christian.  That might help her =20
to understand that you are not just another person offering sympathy =20
with no understanding.

Hugs,
Sheila Helleson
