Family loss and remembrances

Like a bird singing in the rain,
let grateful memories survive
in times of sorrow.

~Robert Louis Stevenson~

Loss is always difficult, whether it's a miscarriage, losing a child,a parent's passing or losing a grandparent. It doesn't matter how long or shortthe illness, or brief the pregnancy-the grieving process is important and the painis real. Let us comfort each other through these times with thoughtful actions,quiet deeds and prayers. I hope this section offers all of us inspirationsand hope as we remember those who have gone before us. I've also included somespecial features for care givers and families suffering through the pain ofa terminal illness. Often we start experiencing grief and loss before the personhas left us. ~Brenda
