I hope through the telling of my journey you will see, not a lonely figure walking this path of pain and grief, but my sisters surrounding me, arms intertwined with mine, sometimes even carrying me. It’s an individual journey, but it’s a story of the whole.
These are the words I chose to begin sharing my story of grief and pain. So many of you wished to hear this, I am posting the link. (This is a co-presentation with my sister who shares the story of choosing joy after the death of her husband.) I will warn you that it is a noisy recording and takes some time to download. We are introduced about 43:00 on the counter.

| All of my sister's and my children and grandchildren came to hear us speak. We had a lunch time snack in my room --10 children and 8 adults! I found these two munchkin cousins hanging together. |

It was a blessing to hear your speaches. Both you and Melanie have joy written on your faces and in your voices. In spite of overwhelming sorrow and grief, you both chose joy.
I am sure that many were and will be blessed by your testimonies. Thank you so much for sharing this and please tell Melanie also.
