A wonderful, caring, gentle, generous, beautiful woman.
She sadly gave up her fight against depression and took her life on the 7th of this month.
It is such a sad loss.
She was so wise, and so talented, and so inspirational.
A truly lovely, lovely person.
I try to believe there is always hope. I do believe she had more to give and more to get from life. But I am so glad she is able to rest now.
Of all the people who deserve peace...
We buried her today surrounded by beautiful woodland.
The wind blew through the trees for her.
The sun was setting as we walked back up the hill.
And all through the ceremony everyone cried, smiled, and laughed...
Feeling grateful for the gifts she gave us while she still could be here.
I am reminded that there is so much love in the world.
And so much beauty.
Caroline used to say that it could be too early, but it it never too late...
(She was a bit of a scatterbrain and never on time).
And while it is too late to save her now, it isn't too late for us to take something good from something so awful, and really try to live this awful, beautiful life.
"There were many talents you possessed that I wished myself to have
But the way your eyes would gloss over, well I never envied that
And I doubt you'll ever come back now from wherever it is you are
'Cause you never understood what we loved you for...
...But I'll try to breathe in meaning, dig deep through every gasp of air
'Cause I know you did the same thing for as long as you could bear."
