A little time away this week

July 15, 2015

A little time away this week

cathyzielske.com
I’m taking a little time away from blogging this week. My heart is heavy for a few friends, one who many of you know, Heidi Swapp, who lost her son Cory last week (read how you can share a message of love with the Swapp family here), and the other friend, my life long best friend, you do not know, but who I will be seeing in Seattle a few days from now to honor the life of her recently departed brother-in-law who I have known since I was 13 years old.

Life is a wild and precious gift.

    Sending hugs your way, too, Cathy. There is a plan behind all of it, though some days it is incredibly hard to see what that could be!
    I hope you get a lot from your quiet time.

    My heart aches to hear this kind of news. After I lost my own son, I found a support group that saved my sanity; Compassionate Friends. It’s for parents, grandparents, adult siblings who’ve lost a child of any age under any circumstance. It’s world-wide, so please let the Swapp family know about it. I also suspect that your life-long friend was youngish and that makes the loss even harder. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’ve already sent up prayers for all.

    Sometimes our spirit just needs to be quiet and to reflect. Wishing you peace and a quiet space. We’ll be here when you return.

    Sorry for your own loss of a long time friend. That, on top of the loss of Heidi’s boy, makes for a heavy heart. Enjoy being with those you love.

    Some times are just sad. We can’t seem to escape. My 82 year old Dad passed this week after a prolonged, drawn-out bout with Parkinson’s disease. In some ways, his death came as a release. He’s out of his suffering. On the other hand, I can’t imagine what that poor Swapp family is going through, losing someone so young. There are no words for that kind of tragedy.
