Goodbye

I don't know whether it hurts less for being expected. Maybe that the hurt was spread out over time.

Goodbye, Anna. http://www3.caringbridge.org/wa/annav/index.htm

I don't know if it would hurt more or less for being expected. I wish that I had known sooner, but that's about closure and guilt, not about hurting more or less.

Anna touched a lot of out lives, always in a good way, so far as I know: nobody will know whether they would have felt better or worse if they'd known more, earlier, as the news continues to spread. We all know and otherws will know soon that she leaves a gap in our lives that noone else can fill.

Webbob... That's beautiful, you really tapped into what I'm feeling and thinking right now (as a 'peripheral' friend, someone who knew and liked her, although not close friends)

Her loss hurts, all the same.

Redbird, I don't know you but I hope you'll accept my sincere condolences.
