In reply to Verlean Turner. HI Val, Thanks for your comment. I am glad that my words helped in some way, however small. We all need to honor those things which cause our hearts to ache - they hold so much wisdom that we can only extract when we become truly present to the loss.

Thank you for this post. I have had similar experiences and just this past weekend a great spirit of sadness came over me and it was such a gift because I emersed myself in it, honored it, questioned it and got great answers and courage to face some challenging situations in my life. Again, thanks, I am sharing it with my friends on Facebook and on my Blogtalk Radio program, DrVwithLove.

An honor Ginger. I appreciate your openess… and yes, we are all so very fragile and yet, at the same time, so incredibly strong. What matters far more than how we die, is how we live. Keep living to the full and honoring the gifts life has given you.

We humans are really so very fragile. So often I've asked why them, not me. Who knows… but I cherish the gift of my life and vow to make the best of it. I don't want to be accused of wasting it, I want no regrets, I don't want to throw this precious gift in the face of the Giver.
Thank you, Margie, for sharing your sorrow and reminding me of my purpose.

I too have a brother who suffers from Schizophrenia, but fortunately he is now under care. I also did fnot face loss until in my 40's when I lst 2 babies. I still feel their loss daily but also realize how precious my other to children are and how lucky I am to have them in my life.

Your recent post about your brother Peter stuck a note. We lost our mother very unexpectedly two years ago which was my first brush with true and deep grief. It took a year to understand that impact and that I majestically suck at grieving and another 6 months to meet it’s more positive cousins, acceptance, and letting go.

Your post was a great message. Thank you for that.

All the best to you and your family on this anniversary.

Cheers,
Richard
