They dynamics between family members particularly in times of loss are always an interesting study. As we are visiting with family the past seems to be the elephant in the room that no one really talks about.
What are we afraid to say? How much pain we feel...how many regrets we have? Are we angry to be the one still here?
I have always subscribed to more communication not less is the road out. It's hard to get people to talk but so healing when you can do so. Today would have been Verle's 59th birthday. It's sad that he never saw this day. But life continues and so does he somewhere...somehow. His spirit lives on eternally. His contributions are well remembered. And our lives continue to a new chapter.
Here's to families and healing times.
