Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. **I know from experience how difficult dealing with loss can be, but I also know how empowering and special it feels to receive the perfect sympathy note from someone in our lives. Words not only hug your heart in a time of loss, they are also powerful and healing.**
