The above copy of Grief Digest could not have arrived at a better time as I am again facing the loss of a family member, my brother Sutcliffe. I have been reading it and trying to lift my spirit.
The welcome by Editor Andrea Gambill gives serious food for thought. This is what she wrote about the word HOPE:
"Happiness-possible even in the midst of overwhelming pain and sadness
Optimism-the belief that there can be better days in spite of the current
darkness
Peace-because there is hope
Empathy-to understand the journey of others, because you have been
there, too."
I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has expressed words of sympathy and comfort to me at this time. I truly appreciate it.
