Dear Richard, How hard it is to lose a friend? I don't know if it is human nature or the way of life on Earth, but we seldom become all of who we are until forced to it. Some say that something in us rises to the occasion, that there is, as Hemingway called it, "a grace under pressure" that comes forth in most of us when challenged. Others say this talk of grace is merely a way to rationalize hard times and painful experience, a way to put a good face on tragedy. Yet beneath all the talk of tragedy and grace, I have come to beleive that we are destined to be opened by the living of our days, and whether we like it or not, whether we choose to participate or not, we will, in time, every one of us, wear the deeper part of who we are as a new skin. Either by erosion from without or by shedding from within---- and often by both--we are forced to live more authentically. And once the crisis that opened us passes, the real choice then becomes: Will we continue such authentic living. These are just thoughts  from an Ageing Lady as she moves through her own challenges, every day.

peace.

Well said, Rita.

Oh, Rick, I am so, so sorry.  Love and prayers for you and for Maureen and her family.

Rick, so sorry to hear your sad news. My prayers go out to Maureen and her family and to you to as you struggle to make sense of it. 

Praying too that your move goes smoothly and that you will arrive at your new home safe and sound. 

Dearest Rick, one hears of these tragedies on the news and there are numerous television programs chronicling such stories, but it is always "someone else".  How much more heartbreaking when it happens to someone you know. 

My thoughts and prayers go with Maureen's family and to you that you will find comfort in this very difficult time.  Best of luck to you as well in your move to Arizona.  God Bless!
