Heartache, sadness, sorrow, grief — uninvited yet ever-present members of our family. How many of us
spend our energy building reinforced walls in a futile attempt to keep them at bay? For all our careful planning
and work, all we really manage to do is displace these characters for a bit.
Alice Wisler, in her column "The Expanded Sky," talks about the possibilities of living with grief,
instead of building walls against it. For those who've experienced precious losses, her words and ideas will
provide empowering structure. For those who've been as yet untouched by loss, understanding grief now can be
eye-opening preparation.
