I'm sorry to hear of your family's loss. When my first husband died ten years ago (I can't believe it's been that long since I've touched him), someone said something to me that has stuck. "People will say that time heals. That will hurt since it makes you feel that they are like a scab that will heal and go away like they were never here. Time doesn't heal but it makes it more bearable" These words got me through. I'm sure each person has a different way of carrying on though. I feel the hurt of your daughter and grandson and hope they are ok. One thing I wish is that during that first year I and my children should have gone for grief counselling. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind. On a gladder note....I have a one day retreat on Tuesday and hope to get back to my Freefall!! xoSandraChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16016700656180845566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-44086160822464245392017-07-21T10:38:51.619-04:002017-07-21T10:38:51.619-04:00This is tragic and heartbreaking.

I have missed your posts after FreeFall ended and just assumed you were taking a break--maybe vacationing. Life throws us a curveball now and then. I have faith you and yours will grow stronger in love as a family in dealing with this horrible loss. I'm so glad you took the plunge and returned to blogland--you were missed. Writing is a good way to heal.

Please know that this whole quilt community has you and your family wrapped in love and concern. I'm glad you could find your way back to the blog.
