Just this past week, at the cemetery, I walk the paved pathways, and found this. I thought it was fitting for the memory of Sharon...
This pink carnation was lain atop a headstone...poignant. For an instant it made my heart skip a beat!!
It's been a while since I've posted here, and a week of family loss. Altho my brother and sister-in-law divorced many years ago, I just recently got word that Sharon [my ex SIL, not my sister] was found in her bed by her son, my nephew. She had passed away. I am in shock...she was a couple of years younger than I am. It's been a quiet few days for me, reflecting on my nephew's loss of his beloved mother; what he must be going through emotionally and physically!! John, my nephew, and his wife have three young sons. What a tragedy for them also. It's heart wrenching to get news like this, even tho Sharon was estranged from her in-laws, I can't help but feel a need for quiet and solitude and deep thoughts for what the family is going through and what lies ahead for them all..
May we all find peace of mind in these images...

ReplyDeleteAnd, thank you for your kind words of condolence with my SIL's unexpected passing. Much appreciated.
DeleteI am so sorry. It is always a shock when anyone we know dies; as if it is just not right. The simple flower with the sun on it on the headstone is so beautiful, and represents hope and renewal.I think there is a Passion flower here, I have never seen a real one.
ReplyDeleteGinny, you've made me feel comfort with your words...thanks.

DeleteBeautiful photos again Anni. I'm sorry for your loss. Divorce may separate yiu physically, but she was a part of the family at one point, and she will always have a piece of your heart.
ReplyDeleteMari, your words are very comforting.
DeleteMy sympathy to this family. I know how you feel, because I am still friends with an ex-sister-in-law. In fact I spoke with her on the phone today.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your sympathy Paula
DeleteI, too know how hard your loss is because my ex-SIL is still my very best friend. I can't imagine her leaving me suddenly but realize we all die. The mending will begin for all but this is the grieving time.
ReplyDeleteI am slowly getting back, thanks Ms. G
