Life 101 Continued

Learned yesterday of another friend dealing with grief. Had I stopped recently to think about things going on in her world, I likely would have known. But a connection that we had for a short while had been cut. And I had to back away to save part of myself when I realized that my reactions were less than admirable. It sounds like she may be starting to come out of the worst. Seems that most people my age are not far removed from some sort of grief or loss in their lives. No great revelation there. The grieving is unavoidable. You just find ways to move forward or risk losing a huge part of your own soul.
