Kyle Mertens

“there can be beauty in every situation. We shared about how wrong turns can provide us with a fresh perspective. We talked about how life is short and comparison is flawed. We wrestled with negative emotions and acknowledged how important it is to communicate. We decided that instead of being hardened by our tragedy, we would allow it to make us even more empathetic and compassionate to those around us. We realized that our loss does not take away our capacity for joy, and that joy will never diminish our sadness. And lastly, we recognized that our lives have not been ruined by what we lost, but they are deeper and richer because of what we had.”
