“Friendships and Forever”

The following piece was sent to me by a fellow grieving dad, Kirk L.  The topic is based on how our friends respond to us after our losses, how our circle of friends change and our new perspective on our own demise.  I have spoken to many grieving parents and almost to a dad, most no longer fear death.  Feel free to weigh in on this topic.

Transforming Adversity Into Healing Through Serving

SOMEONE once asked me, "What is the best way to deal with the grief of loss?" I had to think for a while, but in the end came an answer true to my own experience. The answer in truth is captured in the above quote; this is no new answer; it is as old as the ancients and anyone may apply its wisdom.

Valentine’s Day

When some one we love dies, days on the calendar take on a new meaning.  Days that once were full of joyful anticipation can now be a cause for dread and fear. Knowing that we can no longer celebrate special days without our loved ones has changed every holiday and other special days.
