My MS family share grieve love laugh bandaid us help put issues and solutions out share heart soul etc.Changes in life and sometimes houses!Id love to do lunch with all of you.My best bud passed away this morning from an infection.I cant even begin to list what she gave to me personally just as you all do, but she was a 1 am talker and didn't know I was really related to her until a funeral one day she showed up at.All those years....My grief is selfish because its my loss I feel.She isn't hurting.I have felt the loss but I feel the gain, of years of sisterhood etc.WIth MS one day will I appreciate the gain I have from illness....its hard for me to be grateful for pain etc.That would be what my dear friend would say to love, is to feel the opposite or we would not know.thoughts.I will add, last stress test blurb was a blurb!My heart just aches now just because it does.

Jackie it's Fancy1959. Don't try to put your wreath out of focus at this point because it's a natural way we deal with the stress especially as women when the tears flow and we rebuild our soul one memory at a time. Grief is never selfish again it's our natural way of dealing with the loss of someone or something we loved. The more you remember your friend the closer she will be and she will always be at your side helping you to beat this monster. When you have indecision and you can't decide how best to protect yourself but the decision comes quick and straightforward it will be your friend helping you from above. When it's been a long and tiring day and you are run out and can't move but you feel a gentle breeze caress across your scalp and forehead it will be your friend caressing you to revive your energy and to let you know you are not alone. Never doubt she is watching you from above and helping to guide you as your guardian angel. Think of her often with a smile on your face because she deserves nothing less.

Matthew 5:4 blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Grieving is the process God uses to bring us to a point of wholeness. Grieving Is His great gift to us. It is a necessary part of our journey, healing. Nothing in life can prepare us for the loss of a loved one, so you are not being selfish by grieving. Sit back and enjoy your memories, she will be forever in your heart. God bless Jimeka 🤗 🌈
