Its 4 months since my friends sudden death and now the tears have started.

My friend was found dead in her kitchen. I was called as her executor, and it was so difficult because she had booked to come and stay with me for her birthday, a week later. We had been friends for 70 plus years, it is 3 months later and my tears are worse. I organised the funeral, and the special service in her church, and dealing with selling the home, etc. and travelling 70+ miles to her place. I really miss her. I cannot stop the tears.

Hello @Brenda14,
