I am sorry for your great loss. Sometimes it is comforting when people can just listen and alleviate some of the heartache and loss even for a few minutes. I find it helps when a friend expresses understanding. To be heard is to release a drop of pain.. Grief is a long process and no one should be told about choices.i think you eloquently stated your feelings.
