Kindness Along a Tough Journey

"Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life."
~ Pythagoras

Connection to those we love is critical.  Sometimes it seems the only thing that can get us through.  And it probably matters most when we lose loved ones.  In a very short time, I have attended several wakes.  At each, I have marveled at how people come together.  Childhood friends, business colleagues... people from different parts of our lives gather together.  They come to pay their respects and to accompany the family members who remain.  Continuing to live after losing a loved one is very difficult and we rely on the kindness of those who journey with us.
