The mother of a classmate passed last night. After my attorney friend broke the news, I didn’t react much. I couldn’t think or speak for a while.  I prayed  a few Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s.  The attorney forewarned me and told me not to cry.  And that’s what I did.

As I was reading, I came across this quotation.  I tried to find out the author of this quote but my Google search was futile. In the meantime,  may I just borrow your words.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.

Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

These sixteen words are enough.  No more words needed to fully express how I feel about death and how love helped me cope with loss.
