Greetings friends,
The turning of the year brings with it mixed feelings for so many people who are grieving a loss.
In some ways the new year marks a heavy line; we are moving that much farther away from the time we had with our child. In other ways we are lighter, stepping forward; the calendar change is hard proof that we are continuing to live our lives after a loss when we thought we would never be able to breathe fully again.
Finding some sort of balance within those two contrasts is probably impossible. But neither one is right or wrong, better than the other, or even preferable to the other. They both just are. Our job is to explore it all and figure out where we are today. And then start over and do it all again tomorrow. Hopefully somewhere along the way we discover some peace inside ourselves.
And that is our wish for you as we say goodbye to 2010 and look ahead into 2011: May you find peace on your journey.
It is an honor to be here for you.
From all of us at Rowan Tree Foundation
