Five feelings in one day that stay for a long time, a good message to give people when losing a loved one.

The flippant, "you will eventually feel better" "with time all comes right" and other inane words used on the loss of someone. I lost my Mom and Dad 25 years ago, a year apart and think of them daily.

Words that do ring true to me is what my Dad always said; People judge the parents by the children's actions, so keep true to what you were taught, decision making between right and wrong.

No matter how old or young one is death is a reality of living, children must be taught with truth, not false mystical promises.
