The risk of loving big is that big goodbyes can wreck you.

If you've lived long enough, you've experienced it. The reverberating pain of saying goodbye to someone you love.

I've been to more funerals than I can count. My beloved father passed away when I was a teen and three more people I loved completely, my husband's mom, dad, and sister, Denise, all died within a handful of years from one another.

But these are not the kinds of letting go I'm referring to.
