Do you remember the movie, West Side Story? One of the love songs shared by Tony and Marie had the lyric, “Even death won’t part us now.” What a wonderful thought. Death can’t take from us what we hold most precious….love. I believe that this is true. In my work as a therapist I often tell my clients that they have within them a knowingness, a spirit.
