Sending big heart hugs and healing to you. Actually, when I read about Joan’s death, YOU were one of the first I thought of. This would certainly send your mind reeling to your own nightmare. I’m so sorry for your loss of Joan now too, while you’re still grieving the loss of your dear husband. How wonderful you had met her in person…blogging friends are so special, especially when we’ve gotten to ‘rub elbows’ with them too. Keep looking up…know many are praying for you as you process the grief of another precious person in your life. One day at a time…I think of and pray for you often. XOXO

She would not want you to choose isolation and she would be proud of you for writing this and choosing to live life once again. I’m wishing you so many wonderful things over the next year, Crystal.

And I know that Joan would want you out there living life and not hiding away from the world. I didn’t know your Mike, but I venture to say that he would want the same thing for you as well. <3 Joan was an amazing woman and we will keep her alive in our memories and through her blog.

I’ve had the opportunity to speak with many folks about their wishes after passing and I have yet to hear a single person say, “I really hope that my loved ones cry and grieve and don’t get out because then I’d know they really loved me and miss me.” Quite the opposite. They know they’ve been loved hard and loved well and they want their loved ones to live, to love and to find joy in life. I hope you keep on getting up every day and making the decision to really live. It’s an incredible legacy your husband has left behind and he would want you and the kids to be happy and have joy. <3
