Grace Notes on Love & Loss

#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.

#HotMess
Today my mummy returned to Ireland.
I’ve been lying on the beach trying to recalibrate.

#LaMamma
My Mummy is on her way to Italy.
I’m about to see her here at the airport.

#Freedom
Is it possible to be free in the face of illness, loss or death?
Yes.

#LivingWithLoss
Yesterday I had a call with a lovely client who recently lost her father, she was experiencing some low moods and innocently the people around her tried to help by reminding her she was grieving.
