I'm sorry. I don't have wise words of advice to make it better. I can't say it will all work out or time heals all. I've never had something like this happen so I don't know what will happen or how you might feel. But I am sorry. I wish you hadn't had to go through all this. I wish Jamie didn't have the issues and feelings he was facing. If I was there I'd give you a hug and let you cry, or ramble on, or even get angry. That's all I can do. I guess it's a matter of faith now, that the universe has his soul well in hand and what was wrong will eventually get fixed. His essence is out there. He is not totally gone, but you know that probably better than most.
