Our Blogging Mission

To start a discussion and create a network of support for people who have recently lost a loved one. Please comment wherever you please. I figure, grief is like a staircase - best to be taken one step at a time. And sometimes, if you have the energy and support, you can hop up two or three steps at a time. If you have a story that you would like to be the centerpiece of a blog post, please send me an email at samanthamairson@aol.com. You can write the blog story yourself and I will post it as is, or you can send me the details, I will write a story, send it to you for editing and approval, and then we will post it.

Let's get the dialogue going.

Retiring The Site

When it comes to discussing grief, it seems there in infinite space to occupy.  However, I am retiring this site.  Due to the finite number of responses I have received from the internet community, there seems very little to work with; the grief that sparked this site has seemed to subside, else transform to something entirely.  Perhaps I have ascended the staircase.

There comes a time when loss dims and the most natural action is to move forward,  Self, life, death.  Those are big words.  Words the immensity of which, for centuries, people have followed with question marks and beliefs systems.  I like those words: self, life, death.  I am at peace with them.

At the time of this post I am easily contacted.  If you have questions or comments, do not hesitate to try and email me.  The contact information is current at present.  The future holds much in store, but for now, for me, grief is not in stockroom.  I hope that you, too, will be able to place your lost loved ones on an honored shelf in your memory and move forward with all that surrounds you.

All the Best,
Samantha A. Mairson
