Hi Capt, CYM Doc and others:
Thank you very much for your words of sympathy. Losing someone you love is very painful. You begin to exerience all kinds of difficult and surprising emotions, such as shock, anger, guilt, despair and sadness these feelings come like a sudden overwhelming wave and sweep you away. Sometimes these feelings never let up.
But as time passes, these emotions become less intense and overwhelming as you accept the loss and start to move forward, which is what I had to do. With urgent work piling up, clients clamouring for attention to their problems there is limited time for grieving.
Like they say, ‘The Show must go on!’
However, the recent events have brought to my mind the need to make a “living will” and have it recorded on a cd with a web-cam equipped computer, so that all one has to do is to pop it in into any DVD player and see it on the regular TV.
Regards
HSS
