When my husband died, I had many a conversation with friends and family members about the grieving process. The term “grieving process” was one most people seemed to understand, and I thought I had at least a sense of it, myself. I’d had a fair amount of time to get used to the idea that Howard was ...

The fear of death remains foreign to me, but for the first time I truly feel the tragic gift of mortality. Many of my early memories revolve around my mother’s depression and her subsequent dying from it. During my fourth through sixth years, my mom had no will to live and expressed little joy. Her ...

One of the greatest obstacles to giving unconditional love is our fear that the love may not be returned. We don’t realize that the feeling we seek lies in the giving, not in the receiving. If we measure love received, we will never feel loved. Instead, we will feel shortchanged. Not because we real ...

I’m no stranger to grievous bodily harm, if not in the strict British legal sense. Eight and a half years ago, I fell down the stairs of my family’s brand-goddamn-new two-story house and ended up in a wheelchair for about two months and on crutches/in a walking cast for a couple weeks after that.
