Happy 15th Anniversary ... I've got you on my mind ...
"Every widow wakes one morning, perhaps after years of pure and unwavering grieving, to realize she slept a good night's sleep, and will be able to eat breakfast, and doesn't hear her husband's ghost all the time, but only some of the time. Her grief is replaced with a useful sadness. Every parent who loses a child finds a way to laugh again. The timbre begins to fade. The edge dulls. The hurt lessens. Every love is carved from loss. Mine was. Yours is. Your great-great-great-grandchildren's will be. But we learn to live in that love." — Jonathan Safran Foer

Thinking of you today, Tracy....
My great-great-great-grandchildren.... Thank you for your post. This grief process has been one of the most humanizing experiences of my life. My first thought was \"Oh, my God! This is what people have to experience during life losses?!\" Everyone goes through such difficulty. We can\'t escape it, but we can support each other and grow through the process. Thank you for your input here and for your growing and caring for other people. You are a blessing! Darleen
