Hey Julian,

Thank you for your condolences… It may not seem like a lot over this impersonal contraption we call the interwebs, but it means quite a bit to me.

Namaste.

Hello Kay…

Don’t worry about how you sound, hon. It isn’t the words that matter anyway. Thank you for your condolences. The funeral is today – it’s likely I’ll be writing about that as well.

Death is just another part of life. I doubt life would have much meaning if it wasn’t for death. The hard part is living – and living well. For that, we have each other, so it’s not so bad.

Namaste.

I never know what to say at times like this. It all sounds so shallow and pithy. I type and erase and type and erase …

I’m so sorry for your loss. And I am. I really feel for and with you. Death sucks and I really wish we didn’t have to deal with it.

Hugs for you and your family.
