Keeping Busy


Dear Dr. Laura:

My sister passed away this week. I felt that my world crumbled, as I thought of vivid memories of our childhood and our big sister conversations.  I'm only 46 years old and this has completely shaken me.  I cried day and night.  I hugged my kids who stayed painfully silent the last few days.  And then I heard your voice in my heart:  keep busy; keep her memory alive by doing things you know she would have loved you to do - for her AND for you.

So together with my kids, we're putting together a memory book about her.  We've gone shopping for little things she loved and we'll put them in small bags and donate them to people who could use them.  I finally smiled as I thought of her and said to myself "Don't worry about me - I'll be busy loving you for a long while."

You've helped me go through the most difficult time in my life and I'm forever grateful to you.  I hope that the good that you do for us every day will return to you a billion fold!  

Audrey
