Thanks to you and folks in the Weight Loss group… [View all]

…and also, thanks to my wonderful husband, I went to the service today feeling like my feelings and challenges are within the acceptable and manageable range of human experiences.

It was wonderful to see my friends, and to hear the words of Suzanne’s father, boyfriend, brother and boss who spoke to the hundreds of us, with such grace and generosity. It meant so much to be with people who loved her and who had been loved by her. It truly was a celebration of her life and the gifts she brought to her many families.

No one said, “Gee, Rene, you sure did gain a lot of weight!” I didn’t actually expect them to say that but I expected to feel like that’s what they were thinking. But all I felt from any of my friends was the sorrowful bewilderment over the loss of Suzanne, gratitude that we had known her and love for one another.
