Di, heavy topic. My mother was there but not on an emotional level. I'm not sure how I would have turned out if she has passed at an early age.

But, I think your friend is full of wisdom. It will create a neediness in us that no other person can fulfill.

I had to realize that what I wished for would never be and just get on with life without it. I've found other outlets to fill that spot.
