We love you and think of you and your family daily. The death of a loved one is always difficult. Although the pain may never go away entirely, and you will never not miss them, it does ease a bit over time. I imagine writing through the pain will help. Hugs, love, and light, g

I’m so sorry 💔 so glad to hear that you’re surrounded by love and your fridge is full. May your long walks continue to give you peace and clarity. Sending love to you and your family.

[Katharine Strange]

thanks, Lindsey. Is it weird to say that I pulled both "death" and the 3 of swords in the days before he died? AM I PSYCHIC?

[Lindsey Melden]

Oh shit. 💔💔💔
