Offering the member of their group who'd lost too much the needed emotional support, that would be, the purpose of this, particular, book club, and it is, important, to have the social support network that can help you get through the hardest parts of your, lives! Translated…
At the book club, I'd shared the illustrated book, "Before I Get Eaten", with the words, "before I get eaten, I just wish I could see my mom again, just once more, how I'd, longed to see my mother, one final, last, time."
As I read up to this passage, everybody was tearing up, through the cow and the calf's saying goodbye to each other, with the wisdoms, the gentleness of it, reminding us to, cherish the moments in time as they come to us.

Maybe it's the connection of the cow and the calf that's touched Lee's heart, she'd shared with us her going on of late, she'd often called herself an "old child who never grew up", is always full of energies, not knowing what was to hit her next, what takes everybody's breaths, away, leukemia, and in her days of treatment in the hospital, her eldest son was overcome with depression, and took his own, life.
Lee was completely strained in her body as well as her mind too, the mask that she wore is stained with her tears then, such serious loss, even as she'd cried all her tears dry, it still, didn't compare to the brokenness of her heart, from the loss of her own, son, and my tears fell with this, mother who'd lost, her, son.
Such a huge amount of courage that Lee has found, to share her life's experiences with us, her book club, if we can', say the words of blessing, tell the ones we love so much that we love them in time, and that is, how life should be, continual, and flowing on. "If I could, I want to forgive what I couldn't forgive in my past; if I can, to let go of what I couldn't, let go, of.", after the book club session, everybody went up to Lee, gave her hugs, and wished her well; I deeply believe, that this book club isn't by chance, that everything has, a purpose, and a, meaning.
And so, this is how you learn, from someone else's experiences of, loss, and, how you offered your support to the person who'd lost too much in life, and you are all, supportive of one another, emotionally, which is exactly what this woman was in need of, as she has leukemia and lost her son to, suicide.
