Grace Notes on Love & Loss

#LessonsInLove

My mother always said ” You choose who you’re going to love”.
I chose Francesco.

Tonight I had the most beautiful bath/spa experience, in my friend’s home.

A psychic I trust told me I needed to bathe, that my emotions needed water, cleansing, healing.

“But you can’t go Grace”.
“Why not”? I ask
“It’s raining”.
The look in their eyes changes my mind, melts my heart.

#AroundTheWorld
So glad we got to travel the world 🌍 together before you had to leave.

#SoulHome
Living in town is a very new experience of our soul home Ostuni.

Dear Francesco,
I’ve been unpacking our life at a new place, it’s weird yet comforting to see our things in the broad daylight hanging in a new home.

Thank You Hachi you’ve been loyal right to the end.

Dear Francesco,
I hear you.
I see your smile everyday.

Dear Francesco,
Hachi’s mouth is bleeding on the walk today.
The tumour is growing and yet he’s showing signs of enjoyment.

#BlameAndUnderstanding
People often ask me if Francesco had shown any symptoms or signs prior to his heart attack.

Dear Francesco,
I’ve been feeling low, so low.
Where did the feelings of love go?

#Deathandloss.
We might never understand it and we might all try to avoid it but what I’m learning is that it’s nothing to fear.
A spiritual balm envelopes us in such times.
