Dear Lynn, Loss is the most difficult experience. Although our loved ones always want us to celebrate their lives, the passing of such an important person in your life and, by extension, the lives of your close family members, is always marked by sorrow. Those left behind cannot help but feel the absence, the weight and shape of it, the heaviness and the pain. May those closest to you be the shoulder to cry on, the arms to hug you, the smile through the tears. Kim
