“Suffering in silence only intensifies the pain of grieving,” writes author M. Donna MacLeod. Of course, opening up about one who’s passed isn’t always easy. In this booklet, the author offers practical, sensitive guidance on “telling the story” of a lost loved one–whether it’s by simply speaking about the pain of loss, or by doing something to commemorate and celebrate the person’s life. Sections include: Find a good listener, Write the story down, Be creative, and Honor your loved one.
