Thank you for sharing, Satya. My Buddhist practice has wained over the past few years and your words remind me that life is for living and enjoying despite the sadness of loss. Sending Metta to you and your Dad.

Thank you, Satya. I'm following Amanda's Mindful Writing Course and your Going Gently words - they're helping me to re-connect and harmonise my thought processes. Much appreciated.

Death is something we ALL share in common.

To share a bond.

And loss is something we ALL encounter.

And love is abound x

Satya,

I grieve with you and share my soul to sit with yours a while. I hope you have the space to mourn when you need to mourn; I know you have the generosity of spirit to allow comfort to find you when the time is right for comfort. You honour us with your telling.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness so much. That has been a grace of this process. We are all united in suffering through impermanence, aren't we? But it also makes things very beautiful...
