With life, we must accept death, & my family has endured two deaths in the past eight months. I lost my wonderful husband, Sean on New Year’s Eve. His father, Brendan died on 8th August. <\/p>\n

Life can seem impossible & meaningless. But whatever your personal beliefs, you know that our lost ones would want us to be safe & happy. The grieving process is inevitable & important. it is a time of reflection. <\/p>\n

I will always keep the garden beautiful, in memory of my wonderful husband, Sean<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
