Ohhh Elizabeth… I know the journey you have been on all too well. Grief is an instant connector… Levels the experience of loss, no matter who it was, in all the contexts, and whomever left one’s life. Your immense sorrow is palpable in every word you wrote. But so is your incredible admiration for your sister. Lucia’s passing is even more poignant, given that she was taken far too soon, with so much more to give, and so much more to share. No matter the enormity of the loss, I always feel we are still somehow the lucky ones… To have known that incredible, remarkable, unbreakable bond with someone who returned it without any limitations, and who never held back. To have an authentic “all in” relationship that encompassed everything, no holds barred. Pardon me for taking the liberty of saying, but if Lucia could somehow take your hand in hers, she would thank you for all that your tribute recognized for her years on this earth. And tell you what an amazing sister you are. You did your big sister proud, and then some. Sending you love, and strengthening thoughts, as my mom use to say.
Shelley, you and I are sisters in grief <3. Thank you for your beautiful reflection and loving words. It is such a difficult path to be on; the comfort is in knowing we are are never alone on the journey. Sending you much love and hugs.
Beautiful words, memories and photos of a beautiful soul. Lucia will be with you in your hearts forever. “When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.” You and your family have a lot of treasures. Sending you love.
Thank you for sharing this touching and beautiful tribute to your sister, Elizabeth. Reading your reflections and memories and looking at the carefully selected pictures made me feel like I was present with you and your family in your memories of Lucia.
I too, find it difficult to accept our reality. Our sister will be our inspiration and a shining light during our darkest days. Thank you for all the amazing work done for Lucia's Celebration of Life. Despite the purpose for this event, I derived joy from all the family and friends who came to celebrate and give us comfort. She will always be with us!
