Not sure what to say?

I'm devastated by his loss but infinitely grateful for the years we had. It is hard to make sense of a world without him. He will always be in my heart

My introduction to Ralph´s gifts was in an Insight Timer class on trauma - I returned to his wise, soothing and helpful words time after time, especially during the pandemic. It´s been awhile but I was about to return to them again this morning when I noticed that the headline had changed to "in memory of" - I´m shocked and deeply saddened. Please know that Ralph´s spirit is strong and his words and work lives on - my thoughts and deepest condolences to his family, other loved ones, and his...

Ralph and I became fast friends when we first met at Spirit Rock. WE shared a lot of common views of life and the humor and absurdity that we often experience. Whenever we met again, either in person or online, we revived all those feelings and shared them again.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of fun times with Ralph during the good old Golden Hill days and then reconnect with him in New York more recently. Ralph's big heart and perspectives on self-compassion really changed the way I thought about trauma and love. I will miss his insightful emails and will remember his great sense of humor and playfulness present in his books.

Sally, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. I pray he is dancing in the green pastures with Sally! May Gods blessings and peace be upon you during this time of mourning and know that he is in a much better place! RIP Ralphie!

My deepest condolences Sally, Ralphie became a great friend/confidant/family to me. May he rest in God´s peace and see him in heaven when we all get there. Keeping you in my prayers and thoughts...Psalms 121:8

Oh Sweet Ralpie, I have so many fond memories, from babysitting you then watching you grow into the talented man you became. Always open to new ideas, always challenging yourself and others to be your best self. You were a joy to know, and while our "get together´s" were few and far between as life went on, we always seemed to pick up as if we talked every day. You were loved and will be missed. I rejoice, knowing you are pain free! Rest in eternal peace Ralphie. Condolences and Prayers to...
