I am very sorry for your loss. When I lost my loved one, I thought the world should pause to honor him, but the days, weeks, and months just kept marching on. It has been 12 years and although I miss him every day, I miss him with a smile or laugh, rather than with tears.

I help facilitate a local grief support group on zoom. We have people from across the country and although they start off as strangers, they find common threads as they share their stories. And this helps everyone feel less alone on this journey. We know the grief is never gone, so we offer suggestions on how to live into the experience and how to find a peaceful place for grief to live. I know this may sound a little strange, but the deeper your love, the greater your grief. Don’t be afraid to each out, there are others feeling lost and alone and together you are stronger. Sending you a rainbow through the rain.
