    No easy answer
    Mr. Sad,

    I am a 57-year-old divorced cancer survivor who has lost both parents to long-term illnesses and my only sibling to suicide and have no easy answers for you, with the possible exception that our loved ones are not really gone but, rather, have made their transition to a happier pain-free existence that we will all occupy one day. In the days to come, you may sense your dear wife's presence in the things she touched, like her coffee cup or favorite chair. Though some would say that this is just your imagination, I prefer to believe that she is really there attempting to comfort you, wanting you to be happy as you continue your life's journey.

    Love, Courage, and Peace of Mind,

    Rick
