Thank you, and beautifully said. I think that "no holding back" approach is a powerful way to live, and I hope I can do better at loving the people--and animals--I have right now, the best that I can. Thank you again.

Thank you for taking the time to write, post and share these beautiful words that everyone should read. My father also died of a sudden heart attack when I was 14; while I too slowly submerged from the sudden grief stronger and more accepting of the reality of death, reading the words love fully because "now is all we got" from someone else is a needed wake-up reminder. Thank you for that reminder! :-) Hi Annie, I don’t comment often enough on blogs but I just had to with this one.

Either they will die or you will. If you fully accept that, then you can, without reservation, love everyone in your life more fully. This is so true Kind Regards Frans Hi Annie

The relationships you have with the people and animals you love, will end. Either they will die or you will. If you fully accept that, then you can, without reservation, love everyone in your life more fully.

This is so true

Kind Regards

And so wise. I have passed this along to my sister who cannot even think about her beloved dog passing away someday - and Kimberly the Dog is quite elderly. Have an inspirational Yom Kippur, my dear. Love, Julia Dear Annie,

That was so beautiful. And so wise. I have passed this along to my sister who cannot even think about her beloved dog passing away someday – and Kimberly the Dog is quite elderly.

Have an inspirational Yom Kippur, my dear.

Love, Julia

I had never thought about the relationships with the people we love all ending in death. The "don't hold back" approach you described is a revelation to me. I suppose the flip side of a reminder of mortality (our own and those of the people around us) is that life is too short to waste our time with people and situations which make us unhappy. Thank you for the words of inspiration. Annie, thank you for writing this powerful blog. I had never thought about the relationships with the people we love all ending in death.
