What Losing My Best Friend Taught Me About Life

The Reward

Less than nine months ago, I wrote a blog post about death. I’d never lost anyone very close to me. I’d lost grandparents and great aunts and uncles that I didn’t know very well when I was too young to understand. I’d lost my father-in-law and, although I was distraught for a few days, it came more from realizing what my daughters would be missing instead of a personal loss for me. He lived states away and I’d never had much of an opportunity to get to know him either.

How to Help a Grieving Child

Dearest Pinkies, Please welcome back my Pink Mommy, Trish Rankin. A few weeks ago a Pinkie e-mailed me to ask how she might help her daughter deal with the death of a friend. Since Mom teaches grief classes, I thought she’d be the best person to answer. And answer she did. I hope her wisdom is helpful to those of you whose child may be experiencing a loss. Thank you, Mommy!

Life is Ephemeral: Living In The Moment

sunrisesmall


Hiya Pinkies! I wrote this post last week, very early in the morning, while I was in Big Sur, and I wanted to share it with you.

Clinging to the Moment

I awoke early this morning to the nature sounds of Big Sur. My husband still sleeping, I threw on a sweater and made my way to outdoor sofa, overlooking the breathtaking view of Big Sur’s ocean cliffs. The sun was just beginning to cast its pink-hued glow on the landscape, and I ran back into the house to find my camera, so I could capture the beauty. I kept trying, take after take. But try as I might, my little Canon just couldn’t reproduce what I was seeing with my own eyes. Then I realized I needed to stop. I was trying so hard to freeze the moment in time that I was forgetting to simply enjoy it. So I put down the camera and enjoyed the sunrise, knowing that the memory of it would exist only in my mind.
