So sorry for your loss.

I lost my niece who I was very close to (I saw her everyday) when she was 16. It has been almost 20 years, and I am able to look at pictures and feel happy to remember the moment, but still have a heavy heart at the same time. I don't think about it every moment of every day like at first.

I'll go weeks without feeling sad, but it will always be a part of me.

I feel for you.
