[Viva] grief and loss / positive gathering

[Lisa Lagos]

I am so sorry to hear of your incredible losses.  I am currently looking
after my mother (and best friend) who has suddenly been diagnosed with
stage 4 lung cancer.  She has never smoked and has looked after herself
well. My own grief makes me extra sensitive to your grief, and my heart
goes out to you.
Thank you for sharing that.
Sincerely, Lisa
