I learned of Trish's passing on Tuesday morning, from a mutual friend Dana Stewart. As I read her text message, I began recalling memories of Trish, Dana and our circle of friends spending many a warm summer evening boating, floating, talking and water skiing on the Columbia River in the Tri-Cities, WA.
My condolences to Trisha's family and friends.

Shirley, Lisa, Kent and family,
Our hearts are so heavy for you right now... a beautiful life has been lived, and we are so grateful to have met her; a beautiful light has gone from sight, and we are sad for your family and all who knew her.
We have prayed for strength, for presence of mind to accomplish what must be done, and for the sense of God's mercy and grace to help you work through the grief of another piece of your family! Especially thinking of Shirley, as the loss of a child, no matter how old, is a tragedy without equal.
May you all know how sorry we are, and how much we ask for God's peace to unfold you at this time.
With our love,
Harriet and Dave

I only knew Trisha in passing when she would come into our facility with Matt. I remember her because she was always so kind and helpful. She seemed never to have a bad word to say about anyone and always saw the good in everything. I would just like to let her family know that I, along with many of us here at Grays Harbor Health & Rehab Center/Avalon Health Care of Aberdeen, send our thoughts and prayers to you and hope that you find some sort of comfort knowing that, as you put it she is having a wonderous play date with all that had passed before her.
Sincerely and respectfully,

GRIEF
An Old Person’s Perspective
A grieving guy asked a wise old person,
“My friend just died. I don’t know what to do, or how to feel.”
The wise old person replied,
“I’m old. What that means is I’ve survived – so far - and a lot of people I’ve known and loved did not.
I’ve lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, parents, other relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks.
I can’t imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here’s my two cents…..
I wish I could say you get used to people dying. But I never did. I don’t want to.
It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances.
But I don’t want it to “not matter”. I don’t want it to be something that just passes.
Every person I have lost gives me scars.
My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person.
And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it.
Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut…or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love.
And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life.
Scars are only ugly to people who can’t see.
As for grief, you’ll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you’re drowning with wreckage all around you.
Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float.
You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it’s some physical thing.
Maybe it’s a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it’s a person who is also floating.
For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.
In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy.
They come 10 seconds apart and don’t even give you time to catch your breath.
All you can do is hang on and float.
After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you’ll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out.
But in between, you can breathe; you can function. You never know what’s going to trigger the grief.
It might be a song; a picture; a street intersection; the smell of a cup of coffee.
It can be just about anything…and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.
Somewhere down the line – and it’s different for everybody – you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall…or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming.
An anniversary; a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O’Hare.
You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself.
And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, once again, come out the other side.
You’ll be soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but…you’ll come out.
Take it from an old person. The waves never stop coming, but somehow you don’t really want them to. After all, with time those waves bring sweet memories of the one you lost…and you never want to lose those.
You learn that you’ll survive them. And other waves will come. And you’ll survive them too.
If you’re lucky, you’ll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks…..and lots of those good memories.”

Marty and I are so terribly saddened by the sudden death of our dear niece. Our hearts go out to you, Shirley, as you grieve the loss of a child. It just should not happen to any parent.
Lisa, Kent, Mitchell, Austin and Brady, I am sure this has left a big hole in your hearts. Tricia loved you all so much and made beautiful memories for you to always treasure.
As time goes by you will share stories and be able to laugh at some and shed a tear at some others. We will be with you in spirit as you celebrate Tricia's life this weekend.
Lovingly, Marty and Beverly Clark.

Nothing anyone can say or do can change things but their kind words and gestures do help immensely, I personally still feel I'm in a dream I haven't woken up from yet!
