Preface

When a person dies, family and friends surround the grieving survivors.   But then the time comes when they must return to their own responsibilities.

Life reverts to its natural state for most. But what of the ones left by themselves to grieve?

It is so very important to support the bereaved person - even if you did not know the one who died.  It’s in those moments that those who suffered the loss need you more than words can express.

They’re on a journey – one that will take them through all the stages of grief.

Please don’t let them travel that road alone.

Dedication

I've stood at your grave praying, weeping and asking: Why?  When I will see you again, and where?

Then, you came to me in a dream. I held your hand so tightly, not wanting to ever let it go. We laughed, you teased me and then you played a joke on me by saying you had gotten a tattoo! It was a fake one, thank God.

I asked where you had been, and you answered, Traveling, seeing friends and just having fun. You seemed so full of life.

All too soon, it was time to say goodbye.  I smiled, squeezed your hand and kissed you.

I am at peace, knowing you are in Heaven - happy and safe. Please come and visit again. I love you, Son, and I miss you beyond belief.
