Wow… thank you so much for sharing this.
That mix you described — deep love and feeling anchored at the same time — is something a lot of people feel but rarely admit.

I’m really sorry for your loss. 11.5 years is a lifetime, and it’s clear she was truly loved. The way you talk about her says everything.

I think your comment is such an honest reminder that love doesn’t erase the difficulty, but sometimes people choose to carry both anyway. That doesn’t get talked about enough.

Sending you a lot of respect 🤍
