"This week I am struggling with the unexpected loss of close friend. I'm feeling overwhelming sadness. Not an hour goes by that I don't say her name out loud.

We sent each other a card or post-card every other week, I even received one in the mail two days after she passed. Such an enormous hole has been left in my heart."
