It Is What It Is
Today we were honoured to enjoy a beautiful lunch with the esteemed author Ute Freitag and her wonderful husband Ekhard.
Allen and I at Cheers for the Years, were so honoured to share our feelings with Ute about dying and loosing a Loved One and how we deal with all the emotions as a family member and friend.
Ute has written many novels and has worked relentlessly with Hospice - so many friends and family- helping them all travel such a difficult journey but managing to share such emotional journeys with them.
At Cheers for the Years, this is all we do.
