When we grieve, really what we're seeking is the light that inspires our glow.

There are no seasonal "grief rules".

If this is the first holiday without your loved one, it's important to make a plan and structure the season accordingly.

Because of the rapid succession of holidays now upon us – Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year - November and December may feel like unending days of prolonged remembrance.

Gratitude has the power to release our heart and cleanse our spirit.

God directs our mind and actions in many ways when we pray for wisdom and insight.

When we're seeking rather than searching, we're about something deep and intentional.

God is with us as we grieve - as we remember, as we memorialize, as we live a life of rich, unbroken heritage in the love of those now lost to us in death.

There's perhaps no experience in all of life more atonal than grief.

When we begin the journey through grief we look up one day from our pain and sorrow and find we're on a new path in life.

The almost surreal fatigue of mind, body, and spirit that engulfs us when one we love dies often lingers longer than we'd like to think.

Likely most of us have heard or read well-intentioned expressions of sympathy couched I "grief speak" that did little or nothing to comfort us.
