Peace
Daily OM for today:
You may begin the day in truly low spirits today, drained by the exhausting rigors of your responsibilities and the uncontrollable events unfolding around you.
That this was how my Daily OM horoscope began this morning was not surprising to me in the least. The inevitability about which I wrote a few days ago happened yesterday. My aunt died -- peacefully and at home. There's a release and a relief in that, of course, but also incredible sadness.
'Til we meet again, Deb.
My thoughts are with you. As you say, now she is at peace...

I'm sorry for your loss. Even when you know the end is coming, it's difficult to deal with the death of a loved one. I'm sure that the fact that she passed peacefully at home is comforting, that was one thing that brought me great comfort when my grandparents passed away.
