Grief

Grief and sadness after loosing a loved one waxes and wanes. I have friends, Michele and Brian, who lost their daughter on July 4, 2011, after a celebratory gunshot wound. Their family was in the midst of celebrating with fireworks when their daughter, Blair, fell to the ground. Today, Michele puts her energies into promoting organ donation and has met the boy who received Blair's heart. She has listened to and felt Blair's heart beating, which is a miracle. Still the grief and sadness fill her heart every single day and the scar will never, ever heal.
