Love, Loss and Letting Go

My last surviving aunt died a week ago. I had a very sweet relationship with her and I will miss her. Her death got me thinking about love and loss, which will serve as our theme for the month.

Take a few moments and think about someone in your life who you have lost––a parent, aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparent, child, friend, or a favorite pet. Begin a list of favorite memories. For example:

• Baking cookies with your grandmother
  
  
• Your father helping you learn to ride a bicycle
  
  
• The great smile your friend had and her infectious laugh
  
  
• The look on your dog’s face when he chewed on your shoe and got caught
  
  
• The college professor that helped you appreciate poetry

This week, spend a few minutes remembering special moments with someone you have lost. Jot down what you remember and notice what you feel. Share what you learn below.

Take good care,
