Where we Mourn:

‘The cemetery,’ wrote Thomas W. Laquer, ‘would not speak of a place but of people from all places … unknown to each other in life and thrown together in a place with which they might have had only the most transitory acquaintance’.

Knowing love

I just arrived home after spending this weekend with two mother both whom have lost children in tragic fashion.I witnessed two entirely different support mechanisms at work, one mother has the support of her family, the other had the support of her community. To go through what they both had to endure without some kind of support network would have been to bare alone. I am happy that there was someone there for them at these trying times. Both are coping and I am constantly amazed at the healing power of love.
