She Is Gone

You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her

Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Helen

From early teens we huddled and laughed and cried, shared hopes and dreams as we crossed paths of discovery on life’s journeys to greater understanding and wisdom, and being Jewish.
Helen, you had such a wonderful, fun loving, singing, dancing side, infectious laughter and a unique and unforgettable strong voice. Also that sad and deep longing in the quest for peace of mind and healing and knowledge of what it means to be alive.
I especially remember many hours in the enveloping warmth of your family home as we negotiated the ups and downs of teenage years, and much later, your incredible way of being with our grandchildren when they were small, and meeting your beautiful daughter. We had so many happy and deep, and sometimes dark conversations when we re-connected over the years, to find that we continued to share so many interests and passions in our lives, from Craniosacral Therapy and alternative Nutrition to Ancestral Healing.
Dearest Helen, my oldest friend, you’ll be forever in my heart and mind, and Mike’s too, and we will miss you more than words can say.
