I hope the memories of your father bring some solace during this season. We mourn the loss of those we love, and life is never the same with the vast voids our loved ones leave behind. Alice. J.

I hope I'll have another chance to take a workshop with you. This post deeply resonates with me as I am 2 months short of the 2 year anniversary of my father's death. Well-meaning people continue to tell me that "time heals all wounds". Like you, I wondered if this is really true. I shared these thoughts in a blog post. So, we are in sync, Alice. May your son's life continue to be a blessing. http://wp.me/p1g33i-fRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572803429264621145.post-40403314177026406142017-08-22T11:18:43.800-07:002017-08-22T11:18:43.800-07:00I'm sure, Lynn, he'd love to meet you, too...I'm sure, Lynn, he'd love to meet you, too.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my post and for your comments.Alice.

I am getting to that age, where 21 of my classmates were proclaimed gone this past reunion and my husband and my parents have significant health issues or have recently passed. I keep thinking that I need to prepare myself for the inevitable loss, but I'm not sure how. This is something I have felt must be true, that one never gets over the grief, and that grief assures you there was something so beautiful and generous about the gift you were given, but you put it in such lucid terms. God bless you as you recall those precious memories of your beautiful, delightful son. I can't wait to meet him someday!BookishConversationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986612941767329856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572803429264621145.post-22863132743308740272017-08-21T13:03:20.095-07:002017-08-21T13:03:20.095-07:00Thanks for reading, Anne.

This really helped me see that there is nothing wrong with me and how I continue to grieve and feel like I will never be the same again. {{hugs}}Anne Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326796364748948854noreply@blogger.com
