GOOD GRIEF The BellaOnline Bereavement Newsletter

New Moon February 2010 Edition

Do you say two thousand ten? Twenty ten? My personal preference is for
two – O – ten. Fewer syllables. Pronounce it as you may, it started out for me with a vicious computer virus. God bless the Geeks. I’m praying for the perpetrator (emphasis on trator) too, but it’s really hard! I feel like I’ve been gone for ages, and I’m SO glad to be back with you. How are you? What’s new? What are you thinking? Write to me.

Many people have questions about death, dying, grief, sadness, depression. It's not something we speak of openly in our culture. The Bereavement Page is a safe place to ask anonymously. Not only will you get an answer personally if you click on "Contact Editor", but a full length feature article may be written so we can all learn.
