To all of my loving friends

[JitterbugPerfume]

who comforted my upon the death of my Melissa.I am full of love and gratitude for my DU. family.

Time will heal , just as it did when My Jeremy passed from this life in 1988.

All I can say is thank you , knowing how inadequate a mere thank you is considering what is in my heart

[DainBramaged]

3. here. . .

Scrolled below is something that mysteriously arrived in my inbox a decade ago when I was in a really deep dark funk. Oddly enough, just reading it daily for a a while really helped me enormously through that period of time.

Since then I've sent it to as many people as I knew of who were experiencing challenges, suffering, or loss.

"BLESSING

I send you light to hold you in love.

I send you light to heal you in love.

May you love, honor, and cherish the preciousness and uniqueness of your own being and of each other being in this world.

May you see your own goodness and beauty reflected wherever you look. May you be contented and appreciative of all life's bountiful gifts.

May the splendor and majesty of your being guide your thoughts, words, and actions.

May your pain and fear be transformed into strength, understanding, and compassion.

May the shining light of your being radiate peace and harmony wherever you are.

May you be suffused with happiness, joyfully celebrating each day you are alive.

May you be abundant in all wealth and rich in generosity, sharing your feelings freely.

May you be a soothing balm of kindness and a fragrant blossom of love to everyone you meet.

May you be well whole and healthy.

May the great love and compassion of your heart embrace and help to redeem the suffering of all beings everywhere.

May the inner light of your purity and perfection dissolve the clouds of discord, despair, and conflict.

May the intelligence and wisdom of your infinite mind give you clarity in a confusing world.

May you trust that you are loved, cared for and supported by the infinite always.

May you possess the precious magic jewel of gratitude that transforms all life into a paradise.

May you pause for a moment each day to remember this blessing upon you,
and calling forth the full power and magnificence of your own being,
may you pass it on to all beings everywhere.

I send you light to hold you in love.
I send you light to heal you in love. "

Blessings upon your infinite soul.

Light and love to you and your family.

[xchrom]

39. may Peace be with you and yours, jitterbug. nt

40. Your grief for Melissa is as precious as she is

That's the way I always felt when my loved ones died (my father and my brother). They were worth the pain of losing them. Stay strong.

[Loki]

41. Dear JitterbugPerfume

I know my simple words of comfort can only try to soothe your unfathomable loss, but my heart is in them and my love is unconditional. May time heal and may you find peace.
