However, the larger a blessing that a person is in our lives, the sharper the pain when they must leave. <br /> And, although there is nothing that anyone can say to lessen the sting of tears our tears of loss, I think of that pain as a palpable sign, even many years later, of our recognition and appreciation.... and our ongoing Love!<br />ChristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118905778148213851.post-32639962890353602752011-02-10T08:59:05.915-05:002011-02-10T08:59:05.915-05:00Oh Witchy,

She would have been 98 (or is it 99?)this month.<br /><br />We are so lucky to have such brilliant women in our lives. And I mean brilliant not only in intelligence but also in the way they lived their lives and the auras they radiated.<br /><br />It is sad when they leave us, even after such a long stay here on earth. The adjustment is wrenching.

When my father died, it was the strangest sensation. It took me a while to realize, my world had shifted just a little because of the removal of his energy from the here and now. Because of who you are, you may experience the same sensation. If you do, be kind to yourself and take your time adjusting. People have a tendency to want you to move on so they can be more comfortable. Just ignore that.<br />If there's anyway I can help, contact me.
