Sunday

As you move through this intense period of grief, your DU friends will be by your side to help in anyway we can. It's another inflection point on your life line. Please cry as much as you want and take long walks in the woods or any other spot where you will be surrounded by nature (I use my local Botanic Garden and Zoo) and remember that you have helping hands along the way.
