That was the title of a blog I wrote in April 2019 when I quoted the wise words of Madisyn Taylor. You might want to reread it as I did today knowing I too need reminders as I grieve for the recent long anticipated death of my sister.

In a later blog I wrote “Many of you may remember the 3 R’s as reading, “riting and ‘rithmetic. The 6 R’s for healthy grieving are REMEMEBER REMINISCE RECALL RETELL RITUAL and RELAX. “ I am doing all those.

Yesterday I received the most poignant and helpful email message from a tennis friend. It read “I am so sorry to hear of your sister’s passing. I know she had Alzheimer’s but she was your sister. It hurts. There is a hole in your heart. You are in my prayers.” And I will do everything I know to heal that hole.
