Love, Loss & Learning

If you have lost someone important to you, chances are you have learned some things from him or her along the way. You may have learned important values, ideas, information or just a simple thing. Consider these examples:

• From my mother I learned to smile when I answer the phone. You can actually hear a smile in someone’s voice.
  
  
• From my father I have been blessed (or cursed) with a good sense of humor. I can't help it; sometimes funny things just pop out of my mouth.
  
  
• From my grandmother I have learned to dress "nicely," even when dressing casually.
  
  
• From my aunt I have learned to serve and present food more creatively and aesthetically.

This week, spend a few minutes thinking about the special things you have learned from a loved one you have lost. Jot down what comes up for you and notice what you feel. Share what you learn below.
