In the previous blog I criticized a family member for her lack of response to my husband's grief over the death of his sister. Wouldn't you know, the next day there was a note from her. The note acknowledged the death and Joe's sister's sense of humor. Not much else.
And then, kind of out of the blue, a lovely, caring. personal note from a young family member. This person has been mentioned in this blog. She has struggled with anxiety and bullying and yet has grown into an adventurous, bright, compassionate young woman willing to express her love and concern in a very personal way.
Another phone call from a nephew---concerned about my husband's loss, what it means in his life.
This is all a lesson for me. Don't criticize too early! Don't jump to accusations!! And yet, be deeply touched by the gentleness and love from unexpected people.
Step back, reflect, give thanks, meditate, pray.
Blessings-Penny
