in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

my DH Lonny passed August 12. My son came to visit and we went to dinner. After dinner a band started playing. I said to my daughter “I wonder if they know the song “Long Train Running” by the Doobie Brothers. It was “our song” that we danced to many times in the 1970’s. The next song they played was our song. 😭💔 Grief is the price we pay for love.

    Maybe a sign from Lonnie. ❤️Hold onto those favorite memories as they and Grace help transcend grief.

    "😭💔 Grief is the price we pay for love"….Harvest Moon by Neil Young was ours.
