@Audrey: Thank you for sharing your love. Ya, you would have loved Julie for sure. She was a beautiful, funny gal who really loved life. I like your idea about a Big Sister program … certainly something to look into. You are like a sister to me, too! Such a gift. xoxo

Jenny, I am just reading this, and it is so beautiful. I completely just broke out in tears. I wish I could have met Julie. She sounds like such an awesome person. Living the life you live today honors her every day in every way. Sisters are such a precious relationship, especially if they are close. Since you are always trying to “pay it forward”, have you ever thought of doing a Big Sister program for a little girl who doesn’t have a big sister. Might be worth looking into? I love you so much. You are like a sister to me.

Dear Jenny, what a beautiful letter. This is such a reflection of love and connection. I can feel you and your sister together sharing, even though she is on the other side, I am sure she is watching over you proudly, with love.

Thankyou for introducing Julie Ann to us

@Kiyla: My heart goes out to you as you heal from the loss of your dad. Grief is a strange thing … it never goes away, but it does become more comfortable with time. Wishing you love and light in the journey ahead. May the happy memories be with you always.

@Robert: Writing can be such a cathartic process. I hope it allows you to forge a deep connection with your dad. Stay open.

@Dawn: Love your Poppa’s motto: eat more ice cream! Couldn’t we all benefit from such a optimistic take on life?!

@Terri: Thank you for your lovely sentiments.

@Anita: So sorry to hear about your partner’s passing. How hard that must have been to lose him so quickly. Glad you have discovered the power of journaling. It really is a magical way to bridge the gap between the living and those who have passed on.

@Lisa: I like what you said about expressing grief and gratitude simultaneously is a gift. I never thought of it that way before. Thank you for sharing this powerful insight.

@Mitch: He’s always with you. May the power of your written words allow you to connect with your long lost brother. Thinking of you!

@Lynn: You’re the best. Yes, energy never dies. Thank you for the reminder.

@Terry: Wishing you love as you celebrate your mother’s life. May the memories sustain you!

@Yogi: So sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. I feel your pain and wish I could take it away. She’s with you always.

@Christine: I’m sure your letter will be as beautiful as you are!

@Phil: What a wonderful approach to use with clients who are being held back by grief. It’s when we dive into the muck that we come out stronger and more focused than ever before. Movement takes courage … and you are such a helpful guide!

Jenny – What a profound way to connect and honor your sister. Also, what a powerful lesson for those that may be held back or blocked by grief or unsaid words with a lost loved one. I have recommended this approach several times with clients who really needed closure with a loved one or mentor who has passed to allow them to quit sabotaging themselves and move forward.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks so much for the inspiration dear.
I lost my dear sister in July from the beast disguised as cancer.
She would have been 50 today.
Thank You…

Jenny,

Thanks for this. This week is the anniversary of my mother’s death – and I love the idea of writing her a letter. I talk to her and my dad often as I am planning or working through things.
