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

Poem: When You Meet Someone Deep in Grief
When You Meet Someone Deep in Grief
Slip off your needs
and set them by the door.
Enter barefoot
this darkened chapel
hollowed by loss
hollowed by sorrow
its gray stone walls
and floor.
You, congregation
of one
are here to listen
not to sing.
Kneel in the back pew
make no sound
let the candles
speak.
Patricia McKernon Runkle
