I saw a young girl wearing a shirt today, and it was lime green with white print spelling the word COURAGE.

That word is very much stuck in my head!

My wife was not at all afraid of death.  Neither was my mother.  

I guess, when you're not afraid of death, there has to be a lot of courage there within you for staying alive!

Courage (also bravery, fortitude, or intrepidity) is the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, or…

Let's all begin to heal today!

It's been 4 months since my wife Jami passed away, and 7 months since my mother passed.

I have written a lot about grief, how to conquer it, cope with it.  What I have learned is that grief is a struggle, an

overbearing and overwhelming struggle when I stay in its path by thinking of sad thoughts, sad feelings of missing whom I have lost.  Feeling guilty that I may have been able to fix my wife and possibly been more understanding of my mother. 

In coming to terms with…

Maybe there is such a thing as  'Good Grief'!
