Christmas won't be the same this year

For bereaved persons, it is important to acknowledge up front that it
won’t be the same this year. Things are not the same. Someone pivotal
in our lives is gone. Moreover, we are not the same persons. Death forever
changes the self we were before. Therefore, we cannot expect to “buck
up” and act as if nothing has changed. Everything has changed.

My monthly newsletter entitled "Stepping Stones" is a collection of short stories and poetry designed to aide those families and individuals currently grieving the loss of a loved one.
