Life is but for a short while, and then we must go out on our own again, to the next phase of our being. May Christine be at peace, and her family comforted by the love that she was and is.
This post was placed this morning by her husband to let us know that she had passed. There are many of us mourning a friend we knew here on WordPress. A friend who said “For as long as I can remember I have wondered about the ‘spiritual’ side of life. My explorations have gone in many directions, but now I am content to do what little I can to bring light and love to those around me”. And she has.

It was a shock to us here on WordPress who “knew” Christine. Such an impact it has made on me about living in the moment. Thanks Patti.

It is no wonder to me that Christine and Stuart were such a loving couple…that he took the time in this awful period in his life to give us the news…well it is no wonder Christine loved him.

Absolutely incredible that he would do this. I think Christine guided him to the computer to let us know. And his typing the words was the very beginning of realizing that she was gone, and the first baby step in healing.
Hugs to you Jo!

Thank you, Stephane. I think the whole of Christine’s followers on her blog are reeling at the suddenness of her death. It opened my eyes to living every moment, more than anything has recently. And it has made me realize even more how real these friendships are on WordPress.
