It hurts to lose folks, even if they were not a daily part of our lives. Sounds like this woman was marvelous.This Eclectic Lifehttp://thiseclecticlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-26081644696553015362010-01-15T14:44:27.286-08:002010-01-15T14:44:27.286-08:00Oh Joe--made me tearful.

It's a different feeling, one that I wasn't quite sure what to do with. And then I gave myself permission to feel the sadness that came with the loss. Boy was I sad. Still makes me sad, thinking about it.<br /><br />Real people--not just words on a screen....I was privy to things people in the space of their lives weren't privy to. Funny that--how some folks give themselves permission to put things in black and white but won't give themselves permission to do the same with people they share space with.<br />I walk with lessons about that. I can fall into that trap--have....<br /><br />There's a hole in my heart, empty places that are forever changed by the course of the crossing of paths--paths I don't believe happen willy nilly AT all, yaknow?<br /><br />I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. I'm sorry for how the loss happened....that somehow would make it feel even sadder for me. And I'm sorry it's left you feeling as you do.<br /><br />I'd just say it's okay to feel everything you do feel--even if that's 'unsure' of what you are feeling, yaknow?<br /><br />Peace to you, sir.<br />And I send prayers to the family who's getting to deal with all the pain this loss brings to them.<br /><br />((((((((( Spadoman )))))))))))Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-4288339455162029682010-01-15T12:39:46.771-08:002010-01-15T12:39:46.771-08:00I think one benefit of blogging is that we learn c...I think one benefit of blogging is that we learn compassion at a very deep level. None of us knows the time or manner of our passing but we are reminded by events such as this that it's best always to be kind. I too wish her well on her journey and no regrets to hold her spirit back.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-88846362700185908312010-01-15T10:09:51.732-08:002010-01-15T10:09:51.732-08:00I once followed a woman's blog she started whe...I once followed a woman's blog she started when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I followed it until she died. It does make you feel strange. <br /><br />I am so sorry about what happened to your friend.
