Closure

Bishop Miller heard about Bruce's mother passing. He wrote us an e-mail and said that he hoped Bruce could find some closure at her passing. I know Bishop meant well and didn't know what else to say, but how does one obtain closure?
Things were left unsaid, feelings were raw and a family was in disrepair. How does one find closure?
I guess this is what people are supposed to feel when they are victims and their attacker is put in jail. Closure. But the feelings are still there. A life has been changed.
I think the only thing that may help is time. Time dims pain. Emotions cannot be turned on or off like a faucet or a light switch. Feelings can't have a band-aid applied to them.
Time and huge doses of prayer along with priesthood blessings will definitely help.
Another good thing that has happened since Louise has passed is that Bruce's sister and he are communicating. She seems to be a lovely person.
As for closure - I think that's a 'psycho-babble' word used to not have to think of anything else to say.
