Thought Healing Quote for the Week: “The landscapes
of all our lives become as full of craters as the surface of the moon. And I
write my obituaries carefully and think about how little the facts suffice, not
only to describe the dead but to tell what they mean to the living all the rest
of our lives. We are defined by who we have lost.” Excerpted from “Maybe We
Do Not Speak Of It,” “Help Yourself” Staff Writers, Rocky Mountain News,
2001
I borrow my quote this week from the Rocky Mountain News
staff writers, who wrote about loss, grief, and the “awful leisure [that] the
living have after death” following the 9/11 tragedy in 2001.
This past Friday, 9/11, marked the 14th anniversary of a
dark and sad day in the lives of countless people, not just in America, but
around the world.
And now, 9/11 will forever be another anniversary for me:
the passing of my beloved sister, Colleen Graham, who crossed over to the Other
Side in the wee hours of the morning.
And if it is true that we are defined by who we have lost,
then I will also forever be a better person because of who she was in my life.
Who has defined you?
Think about it!
