Rally around Mendy….
Dear Mendy,
Two weeks;that’s like two minutes, when you have lost your soul mate. I am so sorry for your loss.
You are so brave to share this loss with us..but I’m so glad you’re here….many of us have walked in that “two weeks” place and we know how you feel. We share our grief here, knowing it gives us the ability to breathe around people who understand.
I come to Maui to feel the memories…it gives me a feeling of peace and calm that is hard to explain. You will find that place as time passes too.
We, in this community are your listening place….use us.
We send you support….KaKoo’, as they say here in Maui.

Mendy: I am so sorry for your loss and recommend a book, “Tear Soup.” Will be thinking of you in the days to come.

Mendy,
I join Laurie and everyone here at OC in offering my sympathy for your loss. You will find much support here. Each of us has had to find his or her own way through a particular winter garden of grief but together, we are always, as we like to say, lifting. Let yourself go slow, allow yourself to be vulnerable, find solace in knowing that, as Mother Meera wrote, tears are “a doorway through which I can enter” into love.
