I am so shocked to hear about Lauren and the grief you feel is, I am sure, unimaginable. As a hospice social worker, I am used to the old dying, but not the young. What an absolute tragedy. I am sure Lauren was a wonderful father, husband, and son, and I could not be sorrier for your loss. May he Rest in Peace. “Grief I’ve learned is just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” -Anonymous
