  • Rock of Comfort | Condolence Gift

    Rock of Comfort | Condolence Gift

    We feel loved when we are comforted. I received a coin purse as a condolence gift with a note that said, “To carry your mother’s memories.” That’s been almost four years ago and I still feel the comfort of my mother’s memories when I open my coin purse. When my co-worker’s mother passed away, I […]

    My best friend Leslie’s mother died two years ago. Not just died – but died unexpectedly. No last goodbye. No final “I love you.” It sucked, it was unfair, and I felt her pain. My father was murdered when I was seven years old and we lived in the Philippines. When I said goodbye to […]
