A friend in Africa sent a note to Judy and me yesterday mentioning his song she had heard related to Christmas and the death of a loved one.

One of the unexpected things about grief is how it can suddenly surprise us with overwhelming emotions.

A question that is often asked by people we meet when they hear that Judy and I work with moms and dads who have lost a child is, "What is it like to lose a child? I can't even imagine it."
