I am posting on behalf of Leah’s family as they are going
through this difficult time. They want to express their deepest appreciation
for all the kindness and support they have received from everyone this past
week. They are so grateful to have such wonderful people showing their love and
respect for Leah, and those closest to her.
One of the hardest things when grieving is the fear of
losing the memories. For myself, Leah was my best friend and every hour and
every day that passes is bittersweet because it means I’m a little further from
the days when Leah was physically on this earth and in my life. I want to hold
on to everything that was Leah.
Bryan had the great idea to encourage people to share
memories here on Leah’s blog. This could help someone who has a memory they don’t
want to lose, and is also healing for Leah’s family who can learn of new
memories that will be preserved in this blog.
So please do so whenever you are comfortable! You may leave
a blog comment, or send an email and I will create new blog posts. It can be a
couple sentences, or multiple pages and it doesn’t have to be a one-time-only
if you find you have more to say as time goes on. If you’d like to share
pictures, please send an email since I don’t think pictures can be added to
blog comments. If you’d like to email a memory to just share privately with the
family, please indicate that in the email so we don’t post it.
Leah has cultivated a healing community on this blog and I
hope everyone can feel comfortable expressing what is important on it. Sharing
can be difficult, but it is so important.
Send emails to: leahshealingjourney@gmail.com
Comment wherever on this blog.
And please check back often to read what others have shared
and continue the legacy Leah started.
This is a wonderful idea Kim. Love to you and Leah's family. 💖

Thanks Kim! I've had this blog bookmarked on my phone and everytime I see it I want to click it and have something be there to make me feel connected to Leah again. It was so nice to open it today and read some memories that make me smile. I miss Leah a lot and love the idea of sharing stories. XO
