Thanks for sharing this, Jenny. I, too, am walking a grief journey right now. I'm taking with me Michael's words about healing ... creating a hospitable place for the grace to come in. Sending a virtual gentle hug to you and your kids.

Thank you for sharing Jenny! Grief and loss is hard and just want you to know I have no words for you today other than I see you, I hear you and I got you and I embrace you from afar...Trish

Warmest greetings to you, Jenny! It was so good to receive your recent post and podcast. What a precious gift that you gave us all...to hear Michael’s voice. Appreciate, too, that you gave us insight into your own journey in the past few months. Thank you so much. Love and blessings, Kathleen

I forgot to thank you for this exquisite and oh so genuine message. Is there a way y ou can send it to me so that i can share it with the other Sisters?

Dear Jenny, Let's at least set up a porch visit. As you grieve your precious Michael, we Sisters are in communion with you as we grieve our beloved Mary Margaret. She loved you and Michael so much and often spoke of you....I send love and greetings from all the Sisters.

I think of you often, Jenny, and send love and peace your way. Your reflection here is so touching.

Oh, Jenny....Thank you for touching in about how you are traveling these days. The poem is perfect. And I just now listened to the podcast. How sweet it was to hear Michael's voice again. I am sending lots of love from that other river...the St. Croix.

Jenny- your words touched my heart. I have been carrying them with me since you posted this. Your open, raw thoughts stir so many different emotions for me. It’s so easy to become automatic with my day to day life and experiences. I am grateful to you and Michael for helping me to wake up to my life. I think you are such a gifted writer.

This was lovely. Thank you for sharing. I wish you continued healing, Jenny (and all who loved Michael).

Huge hugs, Jenny! I miss Michael, too -- I thought of something I wish I could talk to him about just the other day. Ouch.
