Oh, Lola! Life is coming at you in its fullest...the joy of your daughter's romantic dream wedding (would have been mine, too) to the loss of your brother. Memories, hopes, dreams and emotions mirroring the ocean. Life in all its changes. So much love....

Of course we can understand your need at times for an escape into yourself and from all these thoughts and feelings. We are a safe place for you. In the midst of taking care of your daughter, granddaughter and family, you also need to take care of yourself.

And after the wedding, caretaking and services, remember that you will deeply feel those emotions you will likely compartmentalize to experience the immediate occasion you are in. It may feel overwhelming and like you are being whipsawed. We will be here for you then, too. Continue to take the time you need for yourself...to feel, to not feel, to come through it all. Because you know you will. We know you will.

My heart is full for you. My thoughts are with you -- strength to love the joy and to bear the memories you will forever cherish. 💗💗💗💗💗
