Easter and Passover Blessings to all.
Amidst the sacred texts of all religions are stories of people suffering, what they learned from it and how they survived. Read these and have hope. While tears may last all night, there is JOY in the morning. Be thankful and live well. Strive for Shalom.

Miscarriage
Fathers

Losing a Parent

If you have a question, or would like to see something on these topics included in the articles, please contact the editor. It takes a Village to heal. So come, my Village People! Let’s reach out to each other. We can heal the planet.

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.
