This is such a powerful read. Thank you both for sharing your insights. It leaves me feeling that those who have gone before us, wherever they fitted into our lives, have the wish for us that a parent has for their child - to be happy, unworried, living life to the full.
Dear Brendan, thank you so much for reading and providing your thoughts about our piece. This was a big one for us, to get those stories down and put them out there. We appreciate you!
"Your loved ones wouldn't want you drowning in pain" -- each day it gets a little easier to move through the pain and know that all they would want for you is to be happy. Learning to be happy without them is probably the hardest thing we all have to do when we loved someone so much. Thank you both for sharing these stories. I'm sorry for your losses. I admire all your strength. Love to you both.
So powerful, and reading it gave me those spiritual chills 🙏
Thank you so much for taking the time to read it Darcy! That’s means a lot.

"But I do hope that, one day, you experience something mystical for yourself—something that lets you know in your own way that life doesn’t end here."
And I discovered our 4-legged canine childrens' souls stay nearest the ones they loved the most.
My "heart" dog, who woke me in the night when my heart went out of rhythm, trained his replacement after he passed.
