"I know you mean well and that you want to help and support me in my grief. I need you to quit trying to come up with answers to my questions. I need you to talk less and listen more without judging or giving unsolicited advice. I need you to let me know that you have heard me and are trying to understand me and my grief. Quit trying to fix me and simply be there for me." Larry M. Barber

You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho
