Grieving

OK folks I am not going to tell you anything new, at least to those who have lost a parent, a sibling, a son or a daughter. The road is rough and we all grieve in our own way. Some are silent, some spill it out everywhere, but what is important is to be aware of how we get through the pain of losing someone important to us.

Our family was in the trenches for so long that when Joe passed away we were left in a state of limbo. We had worked so hard to save his life and when that was taken from us we did not know where to turn. We searched for the meaning of Joe passing away, we searched for the meaning of our lives, we searched for peace.

The thing is you can search all your life and maybe find an answer, but unfortunately this is life, or maybe death, and it is the hand dealt to us. Importantly it is how we respond to tragedy, how we make a difference and how we remember.
