Firstly remember tonight at 6pm NY time we will be getting together online for a natter and putting a voice to the community at Widows Quest. If you want to join in email me at anna@theengagingbrand.com and I will send you an invite….
But I was just blown away by a comment from Mary on the Facing Death post, she talks about how her late husband had no regrets and a saying he used to quote about life
“Life is a present that so many people do not unwrap”
Oh wow that is so true and I know after a death it feels like an unwanted gift. But you know life is a present given to us, it is precious we know that because we are grieving the loss of a life. If we don’t find the strength to unwrap our life, then it will be a waste…..we may have lost a life but we must
retain our own….

“We may have lost a life but we must retain our own”. That is a very profound statement. I think it will be my motto from now on.
Thanks so much for the chat tonight, Anna. I loved it. If there are any of you out there wondering if you should get involved, please try the next chat. You will find it so uplifting.
Great article Anna, as always! Thank you for setting up the chat, great to be in “real time” as I said. Mary my thoughts are with you on this day and Leslie you too as you run for your husband’s cause with so much of your family support. We all know our spouses would want us to retain our own lives, just takes time to figure out how to do that I guess.
