As one very wise author wrote, (it's late and I can't remember his name), it would be like trying to separate a breeze from the wind. <br />KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05900166688273592932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572131593195137943.post-60750650324921765572009-09-07T08:22:32.511-05:002009-09-07T08:22:32.511-05:00Happy Anniversary.

And the beauty that was her life and spirit is not something anyone would want to move on from. Instead, I believe people will be moving on WITH Maura, capturing her essence in their spirits, striving to be a little more like her in the qualities they admired, remembering fondly how she touched their lives. <br /><br />Life and death. Joy and heartache. It all goes hand in hand. The grief will be as deep as the love you shared. But so will the joy.Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661749227670056682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572131593195137943.post-24026079864570038092009-09-06T16:19:10.150-05:002009-09-06T16:19:10.150-05:00I often find myself with only a sigh for a respons...I often find myself with only a sigh for a response. Sigh of grief, sigh of feeling sorry, sigh of "I wish I had something better to say than a sigh." I believe my sigh today was relief in the understanding of grief and the process by reading what you write, and also in a type of joy that there will be a Maura scholarship at Spring. I've never been able to understand or embrace grief, always just try to suppress it, much to my destruction, and I appreciate you so for continuing to write and, in effect, teaching others about the many facets of grief. <br /><br />I appreciate you. Very much.Beth Buchanannoreply@blogger.com
