Having nursed parents on both sides to the end. My wife and I look at it this way.
Remember the good times and one day we will hopefully meet up again.
We lost a lovely dog (jackson)who was our right arm for 15 years. This may not make sence but when we are out shopping and reqiure a parking space we just say out loud Jackson we need to park, then a space appears as if we are the only ones that can see it....very spooky but true.
