Why ?

 A few nights ago, my wife and I sat down for a quite supper together. She had been quite during her morning routine to prepare for work. Even when I called later in the day for my regular check in, her voice remained subdued. Tonight she was worse. As we began to talk and as all husbands do, I began to prod her about her mood. She looked up at me and said, " Today was the day I lost Nick". Nicolas was a wonderful boy. The first grandchild, the one who could smile at everybody and the boy who never met a stranger. He was loved by all. Even his teachers and classmates thought the world of him. One day, Nick started to get sick. When they took him to the hospital on this cold January day, Nick went home to be with many who have gone before him. Everyone was shocked that a seven year old boy could be taken so soon ! How does one deal with the loss of such a sweet and wonderful child ? How do you cope ?

 In the next few months, I hope that you follow me as we explore the strength, courage and tears of many people who have struggled each day with the tragedies of their life and how they deal with it. Some never receive any relief, they turn to anger, depression and some even to suicide. So please, let's journey and find out how one copes with tragedy.
