My daughter Liz, granddaughter Taegan and I had a big day of Tyler shopping planned for last Saturday. Taegan reported she just didn’t have a thing to wear anymore, and her mom verified that was nearly true, so we decided to have our own Girls’ Day Out, and see if we could find her a bunch of new clothes for a moderate amount of money.

I drove to their house, and after a quick cup of coffee we headed out to Liz’s car. Liz got in, and Taegan and I waited for her to unlock our side. Let us in, we cried. Liz clicked the lock, and actually struggled a bit to unlock; a telltale sign that the house was in need of an Edinburgh locksmith. I got in front, leaving the back seat for Taegan, who was working a puzzle, and wasn’t being much company anyhow. So we headed out, Liz and I just chatting up a storm. At least a mile down the road, Liz’s phone rang. She looked at the screen. She said, “It says it is Taegan. How did it do that?” Then the voice on the phone told it all.

My agency, Cedar Lake Home Health and Hospice, is holding a “Healing Through Grief” luncheon next Wednesday. That will be June 5, at noon, at the First Methodist Church, on College Street. David Hennessee will be speaking.

Cedar Lake holds one of these luncheons every quarter. This is a really good group of people, including both our staff people, and other folks who are working on getting their grief healed. There is always a speaker, and every one I’ve heard has been helpful, interesting, and talks long enough, but not too long. Then there is the food — it is always fantastic! Last time we played a game — I think it was a game — at least we wrote something on a piece of paper, and could read it if we wanted to, and it Continue reading “A chance for ‘Healing Through Grief’”
