		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been privileged recently to connect with some amazing people who have walked through life&#8217;s difficulties and come out stronger than ever. I meet them everywhere-my community, my volunteer work with grieving families, and through other acquaintances. Their stories are testaments to the hope and determination that gives new life to shattered individuals. All of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been writing books, articles, and my blog for several years now, and it occurred to me that I&#8217;ve acquired an abundance of information on grief, loss, and living alone. Much of the information came from my own experiences, but many great ideas have been passed along from others who are in the same boat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I looked back over my posts of the past year and realized I set some important goals, particularly about learning and giving more. I have certainly learned much in 2011, not just about the grieving community, but about managing loss in whatever size and shape it appears. Loss and change are household words for almost [...]]]></description>

My family gathering begins today, as a couple of my grown children and spouse arrive for a few days of reconnecting and sharing memories, and catching up on the news.

It&#8217;s hard to give thanks when there&#8217;s loss all around us, but the support of friends and the comfort of simplicity is something to celebrate. Have a wonderful day. Judy]]></description>

But all is not cheery for those who are in mourning. A loss is difficult to bear for a very long time.

The cold, crisp air is refreshing to me, a native midwesterner, but I prefer to have the seasons merge more slowly, so I can get used to different temperatures. With autumn comes the Season of  Holidays, celebrations of a [...]]]></description>
