Mourning
I Miss Everything
We miss everything. This hurts. We wonder how long this will last.

Guilt is seemingly never far from any of us. When we're grieving, it can become a frequent visitor. Surely someone, somewhere is to blame for all this. It might as well be us.

I Miss Your Voice
The human voice is powerful. Our ears are attuned to the pitch and cadence of the voices of those we love. We hear them in our hearts and our dreams.

I am here, just at your side
Just look to your left shoulder
