My dear friend Cynthia!
Somehow our communication got lost in life's shuffle: new babies for you and a total relocation for me!
I heard about your mother's passing via MVAGO. I was so sorry to hear. Please accept my most sincere condolences.
What a lovely obituary! I know how special she was and how much you loved her by the incredible attention and care you gave her. There is no preparation for loosing a parent, no matter how many funerals you've played or sung.
All I can hope for is that you grieve well. One's body and soul needs the process.
In my yoga classes we used to end with this little song:
May the longtime sun shine upon you,(and your mom)
All love surround you.
And the pure light within you,
Guide your way on, guide your way on.
All the best wishes.
Your friend,
Sarah
