I encourage those in despair to spend time with the “Survivor Network”, not because it will distract you from your grief, but it will help you heal. The “Survivor Network” will also make you better prepared for the role that life ultimately hands each of us -- that of caregiver to those who grieve.
That I may speak with soothing power
a word in season, as from thee,
to weary ones in needful hour.
Frances Ridley Havergal, 1872
