[QUOTE="nellpilgrim, post: 167471, member: 6546"] Hi Mrs DD, I'm very sorry for you loss and wish you every strength and comfort over the coming months. I met quite a few bereaved pilgrims when walking the CF. Indeed some counselling agencies in Holland and France encourage those, especially young families, who have lost a parent/partner, to go on the Camino. I met a dad and his two young daughters of 8 and 12 forging a new way of being together after the death of their mum/wife and an older Dutch woman and her teenage son walking (sometimes together sometimes apart as needed) after the death of their dad/husband. I think it likely that nearly all pilgrims at some/many times recall and think about significant people in their lives who have died- walking gives us all 'pause for thought'. When I walked the CF for some reason I was very aware of my mother (who died over 30 yrs ago) not in a sorrowful or maudlin way but as a sort of joyful and sustaining 'presence'-as indeed she was in life. On subsequent pilgrimages other people I've lost have come to mind as I walk-and as they do I light a candle and say a prayer for/with each one. [/QUOTE]
