It’s my birthday weekend, and it’s all the feels up in here.
I’d forgotten that he used to take my languishing plants to work with him. His office had a giant window that looked out on a lush Pacific Northwest forest. It was like working in an eagle’s aerie — the perfect place to give my unhappy plants the sunshine that they needed.
Grief isn’t just sadness. To your surprise, it may feel like calm, comfort or beauty. You can welcome all of the ways that grief enters your life, knowing that each is an expression of the love that remains after death.
“In the time of our living is the making of our death,” writes author Wilma Dykeman, and I agree 100%. I’m so glad Rob convinced me of this truth a decade before his death as he worked as a journalist and hospice volunteer. We can’t control the way we’ll die, but we can be ready to meet it when it comes.
