It's been several years since I updated this blog.  However, recently on Facebook the subject has reared its ugly head again.  It has now been a long five years since Tim left us, and I had been rather proud how I've managed to "heal" from it.  Turns out I'm wrong.
I still feel a tremendous loss, that will never go away.  But time and time again, the subject comes up on FB, and I always try to respond to (or even initiate) the discussions.  It's my hope that by sharing my pain, not only will it lessen but that I can help others deal with theirs.  It's Spider Robinson's "Law of Conservation of Pain and Joy" - which says "pain shared is pain lessened, joy shared is joy multiplied.  If I can let others know that we share their pain, perhaps I can help them get through it just that much easier.
