16. I think you may have misunderstood.

My father died 57 years ago and I still miss him. Thinking that her father who is almost 81 will always be with her is going to cause her great pain later. I have met other people who think and feel the same way. Grief is a process and sometimes it needs to start before death.

Missing someone is normal, saying you do not want to live in a world without them is not.

Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your mother. Mine has been gone for 26 years. It is a great loss.
