This is the time of year when my wife and I try to celebrate her family who passed on. We visit the cemetery in Texas which means a road trip for us from Maryland. It is convenient for us because her mother’s, father’s, and her brother’s birthday are all the same week. Also in that week is her parent’s anniversary. One short vacation allows us the opportunity to celebrate all of them. The rest of the year they are kept in our hearts and memories.
Thanks for visiting and commenting.

All of those things and others. But, it can offer small solace to one who is grieving from a loss. I think it’s so important to allow people time to grieve, time to feel the pain and work through it. Even ourselves, we have to be kind to ourselves when we experience a loss.

Then, as time passes and we can breathe again, then we can understand what it means to keep somebody alive in our hearts, that this is the new way we live with them.

Thank you for your beautiful writing.
