Someone you know is preparing for the first holiday without their husband, wife, mother, father, brother, sister, daughter, son or maybe even a grandparent - that someone may just be you. Others, however, might be currently preparing for their last. It is through you that you keep their memory alive. It has been said that a person has never truly left us until the last ripple is gone from their touch in the pond of our lives. Don't be afraid to say their name. It is through you that the next generation will remember that loved one.

Don Manning once said that "grief is as unique as a single fingerprint and there isn't any ONE right way to express it."
Regardless of the specifics, remember that this season of joy is often one of sorrow for so many. Sometimes a familiar smell, a story or a regular holiday tradition can bring a torrent of grief, crushing like ocean waves. You never know what others are going through and the secret struggles that battle within. All year long, but especially during this holiday season, remember to always be sensitive, be kind, be generous, give help and give love.
