I got three black stone bead bracelets at the co-op that's halfway up to Bev's place from mine right around the time my thoughts went to "let her rest now", and, other than sleeping and showering, I'm basically wearing them full-time as worry beads until she's gone where we cannot follow. (Snowflake obsidian, lava rock, and a secret third thing, which, okay, is just "hell if I can remember what the third one was, IDK, onyx or something".)
Hi-five back atcha. And, now you've done it. I just went to my magic stash and drew out a snowflake obsidian, pyrite and onyx. (dissolving fears, protection, fierce support). I will carry them now, and until my tears are dried.
snowflake obsidian
I *love* snowflake obsidian!
Most of us need something. When StE was in ICU I wore a sandalwood mala on my wrist. I figured if he was beyond hearing maybe he could smell that I was there. When he died I couldn't stand the scent of sandalwood and put the mala in a pretty box on my dresser. I won't use it again, but I can't part with it, either.
I haven't had a talisman for Jacqueline, just the images of her dancing, talking, holding baby Matilda, posing on the old apartment house stairs, wearing flirty hats, persisting in arguments against people who are Wrong in their thinking and their doing. Those things can't be put in a box.
Many hugs to the Zmayhem household, and all of us, really.
All my love to everyone in the Zymahem family.
Thinking of you and your family, David. Love to you all.
It is a great cosmic injustice. I put it up with ita never seeing Black Panther or Wakanda. With Ed not getting to see the Dodgers win the World Series again, or Ginger missing the Braves championship.
I would happily take on this curse on myself. It is so wrong we have to watch her succumb!
Thank you for having the courage to share this. her urn should be something stunning, if possible.
{{{{{{Hugs}}}}} to house Zmayhem.
David, there are no words. I'm holding you all in my heart.
