I don’t know if you’ll read this (AmYisrael), as you haven’t written in a while, but I wanted to say something on the chance that you will.
First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. I don’t know where I’ve been but I just read that you sat shiva.
I remember reading your post about how sad you were that you were not in Israel and that you needed to speak with family. I misunderstood, and thought this was about a yaahretzeit. I failed to respond, believe it or not, I guess because I felt silly responding to someone who seems so wise. I felt I had nothing to say that could help (but it was not a sign of my lack of caring c”v).
I want you to know how appreciative I am for all your kindness in the past, your taking the time to write and try to help. Your caring helped. I’m sorry that the gift you offered me (of caring with words) I failed to offer you in return. If there’s anything I can give you at this time, it’s just to tell you how much your caring to take the time to respond and give support has helped and I wish you only comfort and goodness.
