The sadness and pain surrounding the death of a parent, brother or sister, can bring with it an unexpected gift, and help families to become closer. It can help bring shared memories to light, and be a reminder of love that was shared in the past ~Lorna Byrne

I think it is the aloneness within grief which intensifies the painful feelings and thoughts. I am glad to read that you have a connection with family that offers “an unexpected gift.”

Beautiful quote and photos, Rupali. My condolences to you and your family.
Life, like those ice-drops and ice-crystals is precious, beautiful, delicate, and too short-lived. Soon the ice will melt and be a memory…as will we. So we must find the joy in each day and live with purpose and love. 🙂
