Following the passing of a loved one, there will be occasions that will trigger our memories of them. Stirring emotions that we thought we had managed to put to rest.
Whether it be a holiday time, a social gathering, a piece of music on the radio, or just a word we overhear someone else say, the departed will be back to the forefront of our mind.
Death leaves a void in the lives it leaves behind, a void that will never be filled again. But, however briefly we have known our family member, or good friend, our lives have been touched and blessed by just knowing them. God bless.
I've lost people in my life, and the first holiday without them is especially tough and bittersweet. But it gets better with time. Wishing everyone peace this year.
