Racheal, thank you for you words, I'm truly sorry for your family's loss... I wrote this after my son's death.
We try to hold on, not to the soul that has moved on to a better place, but to the life here on earth. That life is like trying to grab water with our fingers, we can feel it but it slips away. We hold on to the interaction and memories of that life and grab for all the interactions in the future that we would have had, but it's no use.
God Bless
Kent
