You know my posts often reflect precious happenings, however within the past fourteen days five people in my 
friendship circle, dear to me, have passed away. Ken and I will be attending two different celebrations of life this week; up front and personal reminders of this
unavoidable, natural transition in life. In our Loss Support Group we never talk about getting "over" the passing of a loved one, we work on learning how to live with it as we acknowledge the
comfort talking about our cherished one brings us.
friendship circle, dear to me, have passed away. Ken and I will be attending two different celebrations of life this week; up front and personal reminders of this
unavoidable, natural transition in life. In our Loss Support Group we never talk about getting "over" the passing of a loved one, we work on learning how to live with it as we acknowledge the
comfort talking about our cherished one brings us.
Social media allows a place for this. My grief stricken friends are posting photos, memories, and heartfelt thoughts about their loved ones. These postings invite us to share their feelings. As I look at the pictures and read the poems, I am humbled by their willingness to allow us inside. I admire their courage as they draw us into their private agony. As I witness this process, I understand that they are reframing their pain into joyful memories of love.
Neuroscience teaches that we can "train our brains," that we can grow new neurons, that it really is possible to learn new ways of being. For those of us haunted by grief and anxiety, we can learn to become more fully mindful by striving to control our
thoughts. Right now I am a part of the support of those left behind who
are choosing to think of their loved one with joy and gratitude for the life they shared with them. They are purposefully choosing to reframe the loss into
an opportunity to celebrate the love and times they shared. This positive thinking functions to "calm" the mind. When grief comes,it is essential to take the best care of ourselves as
possible.
As I grieve with those left behind, I think of this poem one of them posted,
"If the people we love are stolen from us
The way to have them live on
Is to never stop loving them--
Buildings burn
People die
But real love is forever."
Death cannot be avoided, but when we stay mindful and
see that through the pain we can more than ever appreciate all of God's gifts. We can rejoice in the
magnificence of a full moon, a magenta sunset, a surprise splash of colorful flowers along amountain trail, the peals of joy in a baby's laughter, or the gentle purr of a beloved
kitty.
Life requires us to be courageous. I believe It is in us to meet the challenge. I see that my friends are doing just that.

Love never bites the dust, it never does. Consider it along these lines, there's no noxiousness in your sweetheart's part 'cause presumably, the affection that ha has for them was an adoration for a companion and it's ordinary to want to an old companion right? They have reasons why they finished their relationship and I don't have confidence in such thing as dropping out of affection. If we say we drop out of adoration then we haven't cherished by any stretch of the imagination.
