I try to be as supportive as possible and I GET so MUCH from it too. I've been asked to go at sunset to the cemetary with her to observe how beautiful the sky is and the feeling of Peace that she feels at times like that! This week I'm going to make it a point to with her. ~Aurelia

The love of friendship is the greatest support that one person could give another.

She will grieve her own way and at her own pace but knowing she has a friend by her side to catch her if she falls, to listen, to support her is so very critical....what a wonderful friendship you have and a caring heart to BE THERE FOR HER AND HER FAMILY.
I am sending prayers your way and hers for Peace and that her wonderful memories and love shared will be of comfort to her now and in the future.

I know when my Sister past, so many people were uncomfortable when I talked about her or wanted to....
The sharing and remembering will keep her alive in your hearts and also is balm for the grieving soul.
Chin up and picture her smiling face, giggle or laugh and this may help.
Sending HUGS & Smiles your way.
