Dear Compassionate Friends:
![](Pondering/03/03-04.jpg)
I wanted to share this excellent reflection by Donna Ashworth with you in this month’s
column. It expresses so much better than I how grieving families have to learn to live with our
loss and deal with all the emotions that come with that loss day to day, including welcoming
our grief in.
I wish you comfort and healing, and that you are always able to remember the love, and
that that same love came first before the pain and anger and grief.
In friendship,
