I feel there is much comfort to be taken in the positive action happening following such a tragic, if expected loss. Jen's memory will be living on, not only in the hearts of Michael and her family and friends, but also in the thought-provoking written works which will forever provide a small glimpse into her incredibly productive mind. Keeping this positive momentum going is the best and most fitting memorial we can give to Jen who was such a powerful creative force. Love and light x

Michael, it's great that you're able to make something out of this. A lot of people are in pain and are not getting proper treatment. Many of them self medicate out of necessity. A whole lot of people, and their doctors, do not even realize that people are in danger. Unfortunately we have chosen to treat pain in this country as something to be endured. This is dangerous.

I always find it difficult to find the words to say to those going through what you must be going through. In large part because during my times of grief I always found what people said to me to be less than comforting - my own issues assuming they were more concerned with comforting themselves rather than expressing something deeply felt.

Grief is, in my opinion, the most difficult experience to resolve. I suppose this is because I am still working on grief from decades ago. The notion of working through it and moving on is somehow alien to me.

In past year I have gone through a lot of introspection, and feel that no matter how much I might stabilize on the surface, everything is built on a sea of grief.

I wish you the best in dealing with this traumatic event. Jennifer sounds like one of those complex and wondrous souls, and those who were able to truly know her, a blessing.
