Oh hello fellow reader

It’s this odd delayed feeling of I know they’ve passed but if I can stretch this out , live out their last documented years on this platform - reading, listening - it is bringing me a lot of comfort. I’m trying to comment here and there too - 1/3 is to Andrea whenever they are now, 1/3 is to Meg, 1/3 is to the rest of us.

Scrolled all the way down and found you here. 😉New to Substack, but understand the power of words, especially that of Andrea’s. I have no words for Megan but I have faith beyond imagination that Andrea is resting in the arms of The Lord. Will be reading backwards too! See you along the way!

I am also returning to the beginning. I found Andrea when my husband was first diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. His 19 months, so far, of palliative treatment care has been slightly more palatable with Andrea's words to soften our journey. The grief this week has been both weakening and strengthening ❤️💔❤️

Oh I am thinking of you and your husband . I so agree about that interesting mix of weakening and strengthening. I woke up this morning and finally had a big cry. It’s odd - I had that same wake up feeling one does after a death, a break up, a loss of a beloved animal friend - but it’s just the first time I’ve ever grieved like this about someone who we didn’t personally know one another.

I love that. I’m not sure who to talk to about my grief. So yes I wish there was a group chat part of the paid subscription- did that exist at some point I wonder

After many years of not writing, I've decided to do it again, but only in response to these posts. I'm dropping them here as little love letters.

Here's the one for this post: https://www.facebook.com/share/17Dsu7GCuJ/

Only through your death did I learn of your life and now I am so grateful to get to know you through your shared journey here.

I read your Love’s words, too, as she traverses the world where you are not and yet are everywhere around her and nature is shouting your love for her all over the place. Your love together is a glorious thing to behold.

Thank you for the gift of your woven words illustrating your unique perception of this miraculous and preposterous existence & adventure of consciousness. It really is ALL a miracle.

It is my pleasure to get to know you now and I am so looking forward to going on this journey with you. I only wish it had been so much sooner.

So many blessings.

We are all Stardust.

💜🌈🌟🦄🙏
