A Grief Observed


Our sweet friend has left this mortal existence. She no longer is in pain. She is has gone to a better place.

Laird said to me this week, "But she is still my friend! It is ok Mommy."

And yet my heart aches. I miss her when I go pick up Jeffrey after school. She greeted me with as much enthusiasm as he did - daily. She was a third visiting teaching companion, a beloved playmate, Lucy's biggest fan and a true princess. I am so grateful to have an eternal perspective this week. But the tears are still there. We are so grateful to call her friend.

  1. My heart aches, too. But Quinn reminds me: Sarah isn't sick anymore. And she isn't. And that's a very good thing.

  3. Thank you that is very kind. It was an honor to be a part somehow.

    And I know that you are right, Maren. Some moments we sorrow for the loss but Sarah is now well. Thank you for that reminder.
