I think I will do the same. Treasure your loved ones, even when times are good it can change suddenly.&lt;p&gt;Absolutely.  Now, I hope this does not come across as trite but I lost my mum to cancer in 1997.  I was 27 at the time.  It was hard, very hard as you&amp;#x27;d expect.  Time does heal but it takes a lot of time.  I can still call my mum and she sometimes responds.  Not literally - that&amp;#x27;s mad.  I can still remember her values and guidance.&lt;p&gt;That won&amp;#x27;t be same for everyone because loss is personal and so is all experience.  I&amp;#x27;ve buried (in the loss sense, not mass murderer sense) quite a lot of relos and it is hard and part of life.&lt;p&gt;Whatever happens, you can always call your mum and she&amp;#x27;ll always be there in some way.</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s been almost every 1-2 years for the past 10 that I experience another great loss. Most recently was my mother. That one was&amp;#x2F;still is tough.</text></comment>
