I wish I had some deep insight after losing so many close friends in such a short amount of time. Instead, I often feel numb. Maybe it’s my way of bracing for more loss.
Less, thank you for sharing so vulnerably with us. I'm sorry for your loss. Rohr had this to say this morning:
"In other words, our journeys around and through our realities lead us to the core Reality, where we meet both our truest self and our truest God. We do not really know what it means to be human unless we know God. And, in turn, we do not really know God except through our own broken and rejoicing humanity."
May your grief ultimately lead you closer to the Heart of reality.
I'm so sorry for all your losses. May God continue to give you comfort. But what a gift to have friends like that!
Thank you, Susan. That's how I see it too.

Amen. Thank you, Kelly.
Thank you, Lee, for bringing thoughtful commentary and excellent recommendations to us every week
And thank you for reading!
Beautifully written, Lee. I, along with Susan and Kelly (and the many who love you), am sorry for yet another loss.
Thanks so much, Sheryl.
Thank you for this article. It was touching, and I sympatize with you. (By the way, I have a grandson---all grown up---who is called Bear.
Thanks, Judith. Love that your grandson uses that nickname.
Thanks for sharing this Lee. I hope the loss has gotten easier over time.
Thank you, Tom.
