I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend.

"What if" is a refrain that just won't stop pounding, but being able to share with all of you here does help. I have no living family since my husband died in 2011, and no friends to speak of since that pretty much made me a recluse and I shut out the world. These furbabies saved my life then, because I was all they had, and they were all I had. In most ways, that's still the case - I reached out here for solace because there isn't anybody else.

Hugs to you
