This quote…wow…i am always searching for ways to begin to understand the death of my grandmother (earlier this year). Thank you for sharing this piece as it is another, powerful, way to look at it.

I was thinking about my grandmother while reading this…my Italian grandmother…the person I’ve loved more than just about anyone in my entire family…and I realized that I’ve finally (20 years after her death) reached an okay place about her being gone. That doesn’t mean that I still don’t miss her, sometimes painfully so…but I think I’ve crossed over to a place where I’m content to know that she’s ‘here’ (wherever THAT is!)…and that she sees…even if I don’t see her… Beautiful, beautiful quote.

I’ve never read this quote before and am printing it out and tucking it aside– it is a powerful source of comfort and perspective. Thank you so much for sharing it!

Wow-what a powerful post. It actually helped me put the death of my 5 year nephew into a new perspective. Thank you for that. It has been 5 months now and I actually have not been able to wrap my mind around it. I think I may have moved past something here.
