    Beyond Grief - My Next Steps Camino

    Alex, thank you so much for your detailed description of the procedure. I will plan to do just that - and trust me, it will be very difficult for me to request that without breaking down in tears. Apart from the joy and meeting wonderful people on the way, this Camino will be for me a deeply...

    DBender, Actually, it sounds like I will be well ahead of you, just several days shy of Santiago. I will have started at SJPP on 17 or 18 April. Buen Camino.

    Aw, man, Lindsay, you really struck a chord with me! It must have truly been tough for you and I’m glad there were encounters with people at just the right time. I don’t believe in coincidence; they were meant to happen. Thank you, bro, for your perspective and words of wisdom.

    Beyond Grief - My Next Steps Camino

    Thanks, Wild Irish. I promise to post updates. The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming. Just yesterday I felt like I was standing on the high dive platform at the deep end of the pool - and then I finally dove in. I know I will have tough moments, but even while going solo I’ll...

    Rex, thank you! Wise words indeed. Maybe it’s just me, but the older I’ve gotten, the less I believe in coincidence and serendipity and believe more that things happen for a reason, according to a higher plan - but I totally get your point to embrace those things that happen. It’s amazing the...

    DBender, I hope so! How will I find you? mmmmartin, thank you so much for this advice! Perhaps I could also add Vicarie Pro and my wife’s name on a post-it note and attach to my Credencial as a reminder? Trust me, I know I will break down in tears on the Praça Obradoiro and when I go to claim...

    Beyond Grief - My Next Steps Camino

    Thank you so much, James P! I am indeed taking this Camino as a pilgrimage, full of holy moments to celebrate her memory, of times to be alone with God, to see him in the natural world around me and in the people I will meet. I know I won’t be lonely.

    Dave, this is wonderful news - and I will do just that in memory of my wife! I’m also taking a stack of laminated memorial cards to place at shrines and oratories along the way. Thank you!

    Beyond Grief - My Next Steps Camino

    Hello Pereginos. I took the plunge and bought my airline tickets for the Camino Frances, commencing 17 April 2020 at St Jean Pied de Port. I lost my dear wife to an eight year struggle with Younger Onset Alzheimer's Disease two weeks ago. Call me crazy, but maybe it's grief that has compelled...
