Content Submission Guidelines

When someone we love has died many of us crave information; what do we do now? When is this going to get better? What can I do to help myself? Has anyone ever felt like I do? We want to know that we are not alone, we want to be given some hope that we can survive the pain and we want to know that we are normal. Who better than someone who has been on this journey to bring comfort and hope to the bereaved then those of us who have been there.
