In reply to the discussion: My husband died last night. [View all]TygrBright
(20,760 posts)71. Thank you, more than I can express, for sharing this.
I can't explain why, other than to tell you it's brought light.
And I will hold you and Tom in that Light that you brought.
Because I know that so often the one who bears the Light can't necessarily see it themselves, and grief and loss cast a powerful shadow.
May healing come with abundance.
respectfully,
Bright
