One of my favourite lines from a movie is when Frances de la Tour talks about life and 'the sheer randomness of it all'. It is a line I recall often. <br />My dad died suddenly from a heart attack when I was 23, six years later his best friend (who's children I grew up with) died from cancer. My sister and I talked a lot about the differences, Kev's kids had a chance to say goodbye, but on the other hand had to watch him suffer terrible pain. <br />I found this website really helpful when I was trying to make sense of it all: <br />http://www.crusebereavementcare.org.uk/<br />Much love to you Vicky xxxCatherine Rodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893083162115591562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578946806790913213.post-56568701254815660902013-01-17T13:58:50.624+10:002013-01-17T13:58:50.624+10:00Thank you Rhianna.
