‘With you, dear companion in sorrow, I can find comfort, and rest.’

“In the telling of my story, I share what is most precious to me.’

‘Into the nebulous, ongoing mystery of life I welcome, as if through an open door, the continuing spirit of the one I have loved.’

‘No more apologies. o more uneasiness. My tears are from my healing. Perhaps, too, my tears will give others permission to cry when they feel the need.’

‘I will take time to notice the gifts life gives me, and be thankful.’

‘I will be open to new ways of resolving my grief.’

‘Anger is okay. Denial will hurt no one by me and those I love.’

‘In life, as in death, we draw our power from the same source.’

‘May I hold my grief lightly in my hand so it can lift away from me. My connection to the one I have lost is inviolate; it cannot be broken.’

‘Sometimes all I can hope for is that I’ll feel more hopeful tomorrow.’
