Lily,
“I am glad you found ways to express your grief, it is important to let our selves feel what we feel, so we can truly heal.”
I’m working on it, though I think it’ll take a while.Trying not to project, but to maintain openness regarding the future.

Marty, Yes, in Mom’s simplicity and practicality was her richness. Wisdom therein for us all, eh?

Carolyn,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. The words you wrote about your mother really touched me, and the picture of you two is lovely. It seems there is so much love and wisdom around the presence of your mother – this will never be lost.

I am glad you found ways to express your grief, it is important to let our selves feel what we feel, so we can truly heal.

Finally, I’m honored my post offered you some insights on bhakti in this period of change.

Blessings to you, and to your mom.
Lily

Carolyn-What a beautiful tribute to your mother and to your love. It sounds like she had such a rich life and a rich spirit. I know this kind of loss is never easy but you seem infused with the same strength and wisdom she had and I know that'll help you through. .-= nothingprofound´s last blog .. =-.

Thank you Svasti. Yes. I’m OK….at times sitting and weeping, simply being with the sadness. Other times I am trying to express some of it in writing and artwork ( a relatively new outlet for me). I brought Mom’s easel and some of her paints home and have begun messing around with them. Hoping to combine visual and written art in some sort of collage-y creations.

I'm so sorry Caroline! Another passing, and so soon? That said, 87 years is an awesome innings and I love what you've written about your mother. I hope you are doing ok xo .-= Svasti´s last blog ..Involuntary actions – part 4 =-.
