This is different, but similar to the relationship I had with my father before he died. While death is final, it is never too late to say the words that need be said. I would encourage you to find a way to "say" these words to your friend either in a letter or other vehicle that you find comfortable. I have written many a long letter to my father. While nothing in the way of facts changes, what does change is how I look at things. When my ex and I divorced, I wrote (and never sent) dozens of letters as a way to put into words the emotions that otherwise would have ripped me apart. Strange power lies in the seemingly, but actually very difficult task of putting emotions into words. Again while nothing changed about the facts of the situation, I was able through that process to let go of the emotional junque that I would otherwise have carried for years. Something about getting that letter "just so" allows me to let it go. Besides, a spiritual person would say the person can hear and understand what is on your heart even though they are gone from this physical world. My best to you in this struggle.Jeff ko7mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258789919264407403noreply@blogger.com
