15. Holding space for someone to grieve - Edna Gaspar

There are people who show up and pay their respects when a death occurs. There are people who show up and bring practical help in the days and weeks after a funeral. And them, there are people who continue to show up months and years later as a grieving person tries - and often fails - to rebuild a new life after the death of their person.

My dearest friend, soul sister, delightful "companheira" Edna Gaspar is the kind of person who can do all of the above and beyond. And she does it with intention and unconditional love. I wish everyone could have a friend like Edna because people like her are a gift to this world.

Edna and her husband Olegario run Pearanui, an NGO in Tauranga, New Zealand, which provides youth programs for kids at risk without a stable family structure. They pour their heart, soul and hard work into creating a safe, loving and inclusive environment where kids can learn practical skills that will give them better chances of future employment, pick up life and communication skills to help them face challenges and create a build relationships in healthy ways, as well as providing them with a hopeful and encouraging perspective about themselves.
