First off, thank you, mk, and istara for the support. This is something that is very hard to explain to some people, at least for me. I'm still young enough where almost all of my friends still have both of their parents, so saying something like that is completely foreign to them. The response is usually abrupt and uncomfortable, because that's how it makes people feel when they've never had to deal with the death of a parent. I don't know if this is the case with your wife, but even something seemingly insignificant can act as a trigger to that kind of rush of emotions.When there is a big moment in her life, whether it be a sad moment or a happy one she will often tear up and say, "I wish my mom were here."
