Your words perfectly articulated the numbness, sadness and anger. It never goes away, we simply learn to live with it. We were grateful to have so much time with our strong women, and they will guide us forever, and we will know they’re watching over us. Stay strong, as she taught you to be. xo

After college we lost track of each other but reconnected about 20 years ago and it was like we had never been apart. We laughed commiserated and talked about our families. Kirsten kept me posted after her diagnosis which I greatly appreciated. I too miss her but the wonderful memories will keep her alive. You wrote a beautiful tribute and I know she loves you for it.

A dear friend of mine whose father died just before she found out she was pregnant with her first baby said something to me that resonated as I read your beautiful tribute. She said during that time, she wondered how she could possibly contain both her grief and her joy, as both were so enormous. Somehow, she discovered, the Universe enables your body, heart, and mind to accommodate both — to heal. May you find comfort in the joy of your family as you grieve her death and may you continue to find her in all of the precious gifts she gave you in memories and pie crust. ~Jessie

My mother died one year ago at 89 and it is still hard to believe she is not here and that I can’t call her to share my news of the day or hear about her day. I did speak at her funeral & so glad I did. Your tribute here is the same thing. Yes, everyone, hug your loved ones and be kind to everyone.

That is the sweetest giraffe picture ever. After reading the post, the picture made me a little teary eyed.
