Thank you for sharing your story Marilyn!

I am reading stories from those who experienced the loss of a loved one each day, and am learning so much from it.

I believe that the ability to love yourself as much as you love your partner or child or friend is the very key to how we relate to loss and how we’re able to continue from there.

Many warm greetings –

I’m reading a lot of personal stories from widows these days… It’s my impression that most of them would say that there is no expiration date – yet the experience changes along the way.

Losing a loved one is probably one of the most challenging and potentially life-changing experiences that we can have .  What we tend to forget is that it doesn’t happen in a void – it happens in a context. It builds on everything else we have experienced in our lives already – emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically. The grieving process is affected by it all and affects it all.

So even if there are clearly some general patterns that we share as human being (and spiritual beings),  each journey is still unique, I believe…

Many kind greetings –
