Vanessa,

This breaks my heart. I know how this pain is unrelenting yet somehow we move ourselves through the dreaded anniversaries, birthdays, holidays and all. I can't say I know how we do this, but we do, and collapsing during these times is understandable. I am not great at consoling this pain as my own is so staggering. I wish I could be better at that. Allowing people you who love love to buoy you when the despair lands on you hard is a great strength. I understand the ebb and flow of angst that is aroused out of nowhere sometimes and can take us over at times of the year that ignite these feelings the most. We love you, through it all, my dear. You are thoroughly wonderful.
