Condolences & Memories (97 entries)

• Lisa, I didn't know you, but as a young mother to young children myself, I can only imagine the despair and agony you were going through. Even with all the support in the world, it can seem like society is counterintuitive to nature's health. There aren't enough resources or validation for the hormonal imbalances that come with motherhood. I hope you have found your peace and serenity. Hopefully through unimaginable tragedy comes progress and understanding. Brian and family, I can't even begin to imagine the anguish you feel. Know that you are not alone, none of this is your fault, and time will give you the strength to go on. It will not heal, it will not go away. It won't ever really be in the past. But through love, forgiveness and patience, you will find the strength within yourself and each other. There is so much good in the world, and Lisa, Anna & Nicholas will continue to shine through the love they gave and the way they changed the world and people in it. Sending my love and understanding to you and yours. - Posted by: Bryanne (no relation) on: Dec 28, 2013
