Brinny, Paul and all;
No wonder it's difficult to find closure, having been kept out of the loop like that. But that's great that you feel better that, at least, you often told him how much you loved him. That must help you feel a bit better. Try to meditate on the cliche, nevertheless very true, that everything happens for the best. God's Providence is never derailed. And.. it's better to have loved and lost.... OK. That's Polonius' contribution for the day.
"The closest he ever got was once when I told him I loved him and he said nothing so I said, 'don't you love me?' He said, 'well that goes without saying.'"
That's what I used to tell my wife, Mary. In fact, I would have found it offensive if she didn't really know it, at least in her heart. But apparently it's not the same!
I'd feel a fool saying it, though. A bit like Mom and apple-pie to the power of n! Or, 'Dog bites man!'
Thank you all and God bless you.
My grief is overpowering. How do I gain closure?
