Bab 428: Other People Who Loved Her

Keeley made it through the week in a haze. DOMA offered three days of paid bereavement leave but she ended up using two of her sick days as well. She would go back once the funeral was over and done with.

It was still hard to believe her dad was really gone this time. For good. It wasn't like she was going to get reborn a third time now that there wasn't any unfinished business.

Keeley believed she would see him again after she died but she had barely passed her forty-fourth birthday. The way medical advancements had been going to prolong life, that wouldn't be for several decades more likely than not.

Imagining decades without Robert Hall in her life was the most painful part of losing him. The last time this happened, she only had two miserable years without him.

Granted, he was all she had back then. She didn't have any other source of love or affection in her life. His loss hit her ten times harder.
