“Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased.

Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken.

But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain

forever.” Unknown

People everywhere are hurting from grief and loss. Most do not have any idea how to deal with the losses that they have suffered. Many try to push on, as if nothing has happened.

Others turn to maladaptive (self-destructive) behaviors such as misusing medication, drinking alcohol to excess or taking drugs in an attempt to escape the pain they feel.

Still others bury their hurt, anger and grief inside themselves – only to have it resurface at another time, usually in another form, such as a physical illness or even an emotional / mental illness.
