An open letter of love and support:

To you, the ones who are hurting, keening, baffled, shocked, bruised, and broken,

I can't tell you that it will always be ok-because sometimes it won't.
I won't tell you that it will always work out the way you hope-because sometimes it doesn't.
I can't tell you that it won't hurt, or that it will only sting a bit-because sometimes pain does last a good, long, while.
But I can tell you that its not forever, that every night is followed by a new day and that there is something of wisdom in every experience-it's yours for the taking, don't ignore it.

I am holding you each in my heart-talk to someone who loves you tonight-may you each be blessed.
