Leigh, that's hard, hard news.
You have a right to hurt, and to grieve. Let it out, and let it take its course. This is what it means to be fully human.
Down that long road, there will be room to grow and build in the present, while honouring and remembering those passed.
If it's appropriate, I'd like to raise my glass: Absent friends! May we be worthy of them!
