Ulla, I am so sorry for your loss. I am also a widow but this experience was after the death of my mom (pre-marriage). I am so glad that you were able to find healing. It is not easy losing those we love but healing is possible. Thank so much for sharing your story. Hugs ((((Ulla)))), Karen

Karen, thanks for the beautiful post! I had the same experience last year, when my husband unexpectedly died and life just meant coping with one day after the other. Then I went on vacation with a dear friend of mine to Denmark. I set there on the terrace and just looked at the sky and watched the clouds going by. I listened to the chirping of the birds, and the healing began. Ulla Hennigs last blog post..Looking across the Water

Melissa, I completely agree with you. The stars are amazing and sadly most people rarely take time to look up. Liz’s project was great. You should check out the awesome entries. Thanks for your encouragement Melissa!

What a beautifully written post. I too have looked to the stars and found them to help with healing. They are one of the greatest symbols of life that I've ever known. Thanks for sharing this, Karen. Melissa Donovans last blog post..When it All Comes Crashing Down

Kelly, a word from you is worth 1000. Thank you my dear, for reading and commenting.

Steph, thank you, thank you, thank you! Your words mean so much to me.

Liz, thank you for inspiring and challenging me. Sometimes we rise higher simply because someone asks. Thank you for holding the bar a little higher for me.

Ellen, I have really missed you! I am glad that I can be that strength for others, it definitely helps when you can help others from your own experiences, eh? The blueberries are exceptionally good, and I bet even better from your garden. Hmm, a drive East may be in order. It’s so good to have you back!

This is why people rely on you, Karen. They sense you are a strong person. Like a rock – being a Capricorn and all. I know you have gone through some rough times in your life and anything you share will be good medicine.

Well, it’s Friday so time for a glass of Chardonnay everyone! Live long and drink deeply. And for those of you who don’t drink you can pick a blueberry out of my garden.

It’s good to be back and to hang out with you again. E

PS. I really like this photo.

Karen,
You brought such depth to this. Thank you. I’m taken by the photo, by the thought, and the words so carefully chosen. This is art.
