There is a misnomer out there that says when we grieve there are things we can do that will help us “get over our loss.”  Like going on vacation, or getting a massage, or going shopping or eating.  Last time I checked these things hadn’t helped.  In all fairness I haven’t gotten a massage yet [...]
