Thank you for opening this part of your life with everyone for all of us to learn beside you. Hugs to you and your family. This post connected to me (again).

I have a dear friend that has just finished a beautiful book called “Ritual Well” that connects so much to the ritual that you created during this transition in your lives. You might enjoy reading this. My friend and the author, Jean Sutton, is another great inspirational writer like you (and ordained Presbyterian minister!) Reading it, I found how we can bring rituals in the thresholds of our lives like you and your brother did; so nourishing for the soul. After reading this, I think you would like the book.

Take care through this time. 💜

Oh, Jenni, thank you!! I am definitely going to check out this book! Rituals are such a life line for me. Thank you for sharing, my friend.

Well God bless Tacey for that moment of lucidity and levity! Lots of living still ahead for her.

And your brother looks so much like you, Arianne.

Hope you're having some rest and care in these days.

Thank you, my kind and loving friend. Your prayers and support have meant so much as you've accompanied me/us with this.

Thanks Arianne. It is good to see Tacey’s new home bright with her beloved daughters artwork. Such magnificent love.
