Hi Gretchen — How wonderful that you haven’t experienced a great loss as yet. I have no doubt that when the time comes you’ll do exactly what needs to be done in your sweet, gentle way. But here’s hoping that that day is long off!

Thank you for sharing, and for the way you shared. Your mom would have loved this. I myself have been so untouched, as yet, by sorrow that it’s more than a little scary. I try to get inspiration from seeing how others deal with their burdens, hoping that when my time comes I’ll have the same grace. Meanwhile, empathy is a very good workout for the writerly imagination.

Marianna – we should all hope to leave behind such a legacy, huh? Thanks for being such a faithful reader of the blog.

Linda – you’re right, you can never prepare yourself for a great loss, no matter what. But like the quote at the beginning of the post, these losses help us to live deeply. Thanks for stopping by.

Rhenna – I’m with you. Life is rich, filled with ups and downs that make us the special people we are today.

Yes, my mom still guides me even now. I’ve felt her more in the past couple of months than ever. *hugs*

Nancy – I remember a conversation we had about this, sitting on a park bench one day. You’ve been blesses with a beautiful daughter who will fill that bond for you. How lucky you both are.

BTW…. your story is beautiful. I’m so happy you were blessed with such a special soul mate. I imagine the power of your bond even helps you now. That’s the way a mom’s love should be (IMHO).

I spent all my years wanting a deeper relationship with her and never got it. It seems that her own life left her damaged and unable to connect in an emotional way. Having a daughter of my own now, I make sure I take the time to develop our connection. I can only hope that as she ages, going from teen to adult, our bond will continue. So far, so good!

Even the bad stuff. It’s made me who I am–something (IMHO) to be proud of. I look back at the turning points–most of which I had no idea were turning points at the time–and I see divine influence at every corner.

Lovely post. Hope you’re feeling better!
