For All of Us!

We take off our wedding rings…
(or) We leave them on…
(or) We wear our ring on our neck…
We don’t believe in an after-life…
(or) We believe our partner is near and talk to our person every day….
(or) We find meaning in places our person has been and we return there…
We long to move toward another meaningful relationship….
(or) we say we never want to marry again….
(or) we are surprised by love and captured in a new and different way…
We see signs in the world that get us in touch with our person’s essence…
(or) We don’t believe such signs exist, but we know it is real for others…
(or) We admit that we’ve never really thought about it and are not invested in either way of thinking….
We Process Our Grief in Different Ways
As unique beings who live life in varying ways including education, family dynamics, religion, experiences in our lifetimes, traumas received, avoided, or dodged, favorite sports teams, political persuasion or apolitical, tall or short, active or sedentary—we each process the loss of our special person in our own unique way.
You Do You
There is a sparkle in life when we embrace each other without labels, shoulds, or judgments. You do you; I do me. And there is room for each of us to follow the beat of our own inner drummer.
Long Live Love!
