Feb. 4: I wrote a post a couple weeks ago our how my friend Karen’s friend Cindy was at the end of a five year struggle with breast cancer. This morning, Cindy passed away. She was at the hospice center where Mom was at the end. My heart grieves for Karen and for Cindy’s husband and kids and all the people who love her. It’s five months since Mom died. It feels so weird to have death be something that I know on a much more intimate basis that I have ever before. And at the same time to be right in the moment where life is beginning.
There’s a lot more to this rich tapestry of life than I knew three years ago. I want to take it all in and accept it and make it OK.
Karen made a nice page on her website for Cindy.
