Sending love and comfort, praying you all can find peace during this difficult time. The letting go presents a challenge like no other. There are good days and bad, days when you can feel them near you and days when you just can't accept that they are not. We can honor those we love daily by saying their name and speaking to them, trusting they feel our love and we open ourselves to feel theirs. xoxo
