When Death Is Near

Hello from beautiful Montana:

As I was posting in my main blog http://www.AskAuntieArtichoke.com  I realized that today was the death anniversary of a baby 37 years ago!

Time moves on, people come and go, but our hearts always remember.  She was a stillborn child and her spirit left on Christmas day in Honolulu, Hawaii where we were living at the time.

I felt her spirit leave and made the decision to carry the body for another 2 and half weeks until birth, rather than have a Cesarean operation. it was a very spiritually intensive time as well as pain filled.

Triggers to our memories

Sometimes it is a smell, event, person, food or mood that will trigger memories that bring everything rushing back to the middle of our thoughts and feelings.

It is okay and good to remember and rejoice that you had the opportunity to learn from your loved one, even if just for a short while.

Pet Loss book coming soon

Many of you may remember when I asked for stories of pets that had died.  Well, the book is being edited as we speak.  What a treasure it will be.  I will keep you posted.

One of the quotes I used in compiling the book of stories of those who are trying to deal with death of a pet  is:

Thank you for being my friend for always and always and always.

In Gratitude,

Judy H. Wright aka Auntie Artichoke, family relationship coach and author
