Thank you for this beautiful and moving share. There is such beauty in both the love and the loss. “I am shattered” says so much in 3 words. Sending love and light for what is ahead for your uncle! Cindy

Oh, Heidi … I know you have been expecting this but expecting cannot make this double loss any easier. I have experienced the peace you feel with your aunt’s passing. Letting go can sometimes be a kindness. But the loss your uncle is going through is so painful to even read about. Your life, your vocation, is all about helping people heal. I am sure that makes this present moment all the more difficult since so little can be done. They are both so fortunate to have had a lifetime of your love and care. 💝❣️

Heidi, this is a moving piece and reminds me of how precious life is. This really got me, "Everything was hidden inside their unit—the way they functioned only as one." xx Rhaine
