Sis Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 A friend recently gave me a copy of the book "Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul". It had a beautiful quote which I actually typed out and put on the 'fridge. "Life is short and meant to be experienced and celebrated every day that we're here. We have a choice in the death of those we love. To honor their death with anger, OR, To honor it with our life and living it to the fullest." I think my sister would want me to choose the second option, since that's the way she lived her life. I think I'll give it my best try.

ginnyde Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 If you love someone, you only want the best for them. To live well after the death of a loved one is a tribute to their memory. Living well in no way means that you do not grieve that person, or miss them, or continue to love them deeply. To me, it means I am extremely grateful for the 26 wonderful, exciting and loving years I had with a smart, funny and kind man who was the epitome of a 'true gentleman'. I will miss him forever, but I will live well as a tribute to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
