Cathy Olson:For Financial Burdens in Time of Grief

Death never hits easy.
What's worse?
Death doesn't stop life to allow us to breath.
Cathy's mother Lydia left our world just over two months ago. A Christmas and New Year brought in and celebrated with one less. 
This morning, Cathy woke up to another heartbreaking loss, her husband.
The man she decided was the one, at 14 years old. A man she created a beautiful family with. The man she went through tragic loss with. Selmer, the man she stayed on the side of, for so long.
The one man she's has ever known. Gone. I cannot tell Cathy's or her children story, but I can share what I know.

I know Cathy is one hell of a women and these two were her life.

I know loss isn't just a road bump in life, it's a whole new journey.

I know we are never, truly given the time to grieve.

If there is anything we could do for another person in need, we should do it.

Give what you can,

take what you need.

 

May financial burdens, in time of grief, be non-existent.

 

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.

Let it not be a death but completeness.

Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.

Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.

Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.

Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.

I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.

 

Peace my Heart

Rabindranath Tagore
