Grace and Ease

13/3/2012

 
My father in law passed beyond the veil last Friday.
And while we weren't close, I find I'm profoundly feeling
his absence as I look at my husband and children. 

The part of his story that intertwines with our story has ended.
But slowly and surely we must move on. 

With this well of sadness opening up inside of me
I felt compelled to spend as much of the weekend
in silence. And when Monday dawned I felt the tears
come raining down as I realized that it would have
been my mother's birthday and how slowly and surely
we have moved on from her part in our story as well.

Today, I light a candle to remember and honor all of
those who's stories were a part of mine.  Thank you
for the lessons, the laughter and the love.

May we treat ourselves with as much grace and ease
as we continue on in this life.

"The part of his story that intertwines with our story has ended." Oh Dee, you made me cry in the best possible way. Thank you for sharing your feelings so beautifully. Sending prayers to you, your father-in-law, your mom, and your whole family.

My calico girl, Molly cat, passed on Friday. I lay with her on the bed as she took her last breath. She has been with me twice in this lifetime, hoping for another. Her presence was large. I too embraced the silence. Blessings.

Oh Linnette bless you sweet soul.
Our furry companions are such precious parts of our stories
because their interaction with us connects to our spirits on such a deep level. Wishing you the blessings of gentleness too

Oh Dee, your words are so beautiful and sad at the same time. Although we know that our time on earth is so short it still shakes our world when someone close passes on. And even if you were not close to your father-in-law his spirit lives on through your cildren. The magic of eternity : ).

Thank you for sharing so openly and for reminding me once again how beautiful life is. And how important it is to spend time in silence.

Love and big warm hugs, Karina

I'm sorry for your loss. My father passed last April, so I can understand some of what you're going through. I'm looking forward to poking around your site! Glad I found you.
