It helps, somehow, knowing that we're not alone. It doesn't take away any of the sting, but it does feel good to walk in the company of others on this path.<br /><br />~ OliviaOlivia J.

Every year, in and around the day of her passing, my wife grows quiet, her gaze lost in the distant woods behind our house...and I know, we all know, that for a while she'll be in pain.<br /><br />Touching post, Olivia.
