I found with the loss of my own father.Its a hole in your heart that you eventually just get use to.
But the hole in your heart is always there

BINGO. Well said, sir. There IS NO "closure" (sheeze, I hate that b.s. infested term). There's only an eventual adjustment to the new reality. For me it's been it's been 21 years in the making...and, truth be told, I'm not there yet...

Thanks for all the kind words, folks.

I suspect that like many of you, it'll never really heal, just become a little more tolerable.

Again, thanks.
