Katrina Remembered: “Yes, my love, this is how it goes”
This is not an easy post to read.  It was not easy to live through, nor write.  But it has been one of the most rewarding of my life.  I hope the readers of Lumigrate find it helpful, especially around those difficult, vital life-changing times with a loved-one's passing and how it changes the lives of those living on for a while more.  
 
I would be interested to hear from any of you regarding your reactions, responses or impressions.  
 
Thanks -- Beth
