Vi, your post about your brother-in-law is beautiful. It reminded me of my dad after Mom's passing.

We do all we can to help those that mourn, but unless you are that person we can't grasp the severity of isolation they must feel when unlocking the door to an empty home. I'm sure you're a refreshing spirit for him to connect with because you have shared about the loss of a past love in your life. Keep blessing him.
