Losses

Last night I went to a wedding shower, my uncle is getting remarried after losing his wife 3 years ago.  Most of the women present went to their church including his fiance.  His daughter came and was most supportive and cheerful until one of the women read a short commentary on the couple.  His first wife was mentioned quite a few  times since she had known this lady quite well.  I could see the pain swirling around my cousin across the room and wanted to reach out with comfort but couldn't. It hurt just to watch.  She was OK though and amazing, her mom would be proud.
