One year and 13 days ago I lost my husband Dave. I flew home to tell my children that their father
was gone. I watched his casket being lowered into the ground. I was swallowed in the deep fog of
grief. What I think of as the void, an emptiness that fills your heart and your lungs constricts
your ability to think or even to breathe. I learned about the depths of sadness and the brutality of
loss. But I also learned that when life sucks you under you can kick against the bottom,
find the surface and breathe again. I learned that in the face of the void or in the face of
any challenge you can choose to talk about today is what you do next. About the things you can do
and then through tears we asked each other how we would live if we knew we had 11 days left.
Can you ask yourselves to live as if you had 11 days left? I mean live with the understanding
of how precious every day would be because that's how precious every day actually is.
I stand here today a year after the very worst day of my life. The worst day.
Gratitude for the kindness of my friends, the love of my family and the laughter of my children.
As the saying goes we are more vulnerable than we ever thought but we are stronger than we ever
imagined. My hope for you is that you can find that gratitude not just on the easy days like today.
