Yes, Emily's poem is absolutely the best poem ever written not about death but about how it feels for those left behind.

A friend, quite a bit older than me, once said that as long as our parents are alive we are children and when they go no matter how old we are, we become orphans but we also finally become adults.

It takes time to process the loss and in an odd way we become closer to those who are gone.

Thank you for your gratitude and thank you for being so open with what you're feeling. It makes me reflect and feel and understand too.
