Such a beautiful piece! Yes, we carry on. What can we do? "We live, and we live well for that is the only way to honor life." <3 Thanks for writing this. I'm sure all of us deal with some sort of loss on a very regular basis.

I needed to read this today. A friend spent the night, and after she went home today, I cried. Don’t know why. Then I pinpointed it to a feeling of grief. Still don’t know why. Just trying to ride the waves, and allow myself to be with it. Your words are beautiful , made me tear up, and exactly what I needed in this moment. Thank you.💕

Very apropos! Thank you. I felt held as I do when I read your words. I notice my heart soften and a sigh escape allowing for deeper breaths.

That was incredibly beautiful and captured so many layers of the greiving process. Thanks for sharing and reminding me to get in the garden, go to the dance, clean the office, make some art, fully live even in the face of sadness, anxiety, and fear of change. Mahalo
