I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Greg.

I often find myself quite jealous of Christians who have such a strong faith that they will be re-united with their dead loved ones. I wish I could believe in that, it seems a comforting thought.

My thoughts are with you and your family in this sad time.

Hi Greg,

My thoughts are with you and your family as well. May the memories of her help you all during this time.

While I'm sure you know this, remember to feel what you feel. No problem.

With Metta,
Keith

Hey Greg!

My heartfelt condolences, both my grandparents on my mother's side died a few months apart from one another in 2006, with my father-in-law dying shortly after. Everytime I peel a tangerine, every time I open a fridge....taking into account that they're dead, I sometimes think that their voices couldn't be very much louder inside my mind even if indeed they were still alive.

Unborn, undying.....ya know. Sometimes a hug is worth more then a hundred stupid pretentious Koans.

Gassho hug,

Hans

Thank you Martin,

I'm doing my best. Crying some tears now and then, but they are good tears.
