Life and Death

Every so often something happens that reminds me the impact Leah's life and death have had/are having on other people. When I sit with that and connect with the field of everyone whose life she impacted I am filled with awe. I know that each of our experiences of her life and death are different. Some knew her, had direct experience of her light and huge heart. Some are friends of mine, and did not know her directly, but are impacted in their own way by what has happened. Each time someone reaches out to me, I am filled with gratitude for the blessings that come from being with what is. I am grateful I can receive what they are giving. As I sit now in this field, I know we are all holding each other. I can feel that so many people are still hurting so much, it brings up my own pain. And I hold all of it without condition. I have learned so much about life and death. They go hand in hand, death is a part of life. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to lose Leah to learn this lesson. When I sit with this I remember I did not lose her, she is still here. My heart breaks open yet again.
I have so much gratitude for each person who stands with us in this space. My prayer is that we can all hold what is here as it shows up for each of us. Much love to all of you.
