Thank you for your notes of love and support. As I read and reread your words the centrifugal force of grief softens and glimmers of hope flicker into my heart/mind.

Grief is an island of isolation.
Your love, hours of listening, hours of tender packing, days of accompanying me through the letting go, the candles lit and prayers whispered keep coming as comforting waves to the edges of my listlessness, inertia, and sorrow.

I am grateful to be a part of our web of mutual support and loving kindness. May you feel my appreciation as the sun lights your path, a gentle breeze comforts your skin, or a chorus of songbirds lifts your spirits.

Thank you.
