Elliot, There are countless numbers of people here on the internet who knew Marcia. Some from just reading her posts, others from emailing back and forth and others became closer friends and spoke often on the phone. We wanted you to know how many people cared for her. She will be missed very much. This message board is just one that Marcia was a member of and I thought it would be nice if those here could share their thoughts and words with you.
I know this is a difficult time. Having a loved one pass is, there is no word that says it all- it is crippling. It makes waking up hard to do and falling asleep at night more difficult. After the passing of both my parents in 25 months, I wasn't sure how to function. But you do. You do it because you know that the person who has passed would want you to. It is ok to laugh, ok to smile, it is ok to have a good time. It may not seem possible- but it will be.
I felt I wasn't allowed to feel good things. I felt I wanted to stay in bed and not move on.
Elliot, Marcia wouldn't want you to do that. She loves you and wants you to be happy. Please know that. It may not seem possible now, but it will, just give it time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
