Stay strong, while the hole in your heart never heals, the pain gets easier to take with time.

Now, maybe grief makes us uncomfortable and we just want to cheer people up to alleviate our own discomfort instead of recognizing that grief also enables us to feel deeply the joy that we had and recognize its power.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we'll make it a lavender shirt...!MrsMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05722317999994735169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15106823.post-49440783082145359702009-02-13T21:46:00.000-05:002009-02-13T21:46:00.000-05:00I love youAdwen, the Green Fairyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926522526070864706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15106823.post-77442397704553632362009-02-13T19:34:00.000-05:002009-02-13T19:34:00.000-05:00Oh, she's making Valentine's in heaven. And they're spectacular. And she's making them all on her own and so delighted, I am SURE of that. That doesn't make it any easier on you because you are the one left on the imperfect earth until you can be reunited with her again. Thank you for sharing, I hope writing was therapeutic and cathartic for you.Cheekyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08726933086652028398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15106823.post-21343512191346476942009-02-13T17:57:00.000-05:002009-02-13T17:57:00.000-05:00Joy, I love you and your family very much.

I am praying for you. It is kind of an empty month, when it used to be so full - your birthday, Elli's birthday, our anniversary!!!! It is very hard to grasp the reality of it all. The hurt you feel leaves me wordless, hurting for you, praying for your comfort. If you need to talk, I am hear for you. I will listen to you as you talk through and with the tears. Love you for always!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
