Without warning, you can lose ... a loved one, marriage, home or job; your health, innocence or youth.  Perhaps you lost someone or something dear to you.  The pain won’t go away stop.  The tears don’t stop.  You can barely contemplate the next moment let alone the future.  Be comforted knowing that you are not alone and will not stay stuck in the shadows of grief.  Flickers of hope light the way to the rest of your life.  But you must sling open the gate.
