    Great post. For me, I usually experience a stage sometime after the shock of a loss when everything feels more alive. No fog of pettiness or depression. No dust of despair. Grief as an emotional cleaning lady. Perhaps there is a time when it is OK to appropriate the phrase “Good Grief” – but as you show, it does require living like a cat, and taking time for sun on shoulders. Good on yah.

    Dear Colleen, sorry we couldn’t make it to the funeral, but hope you could feel our love and caring. I really missed getting together with you and the family to honour and celebrate Uncle Hank’s life. Christine missed seeing the “Dyck Chicks” … hope that brings a smile to your face. Hugs.
