"In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all......
It comes with bitterest agony.......
Perfect relief is not possible, except with time.
You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better......
And yet this is a mistake.
You are sure to be happy again.
To know this, which is certainly true,
Will make you feel less miserable now."
Abraham Lincoln- (Three of his sons died: Edward, age 4, William, age 11 and Thomas, age 18).
You've cried at weddings, right? At the birth of a baby? And, of course, you've probably cried at funerals, but have you ever stopped to wonder why both happy and sad events, make you so emotional? Even worse, do you often feel like you're the only one? I will impart wisdom gleaned from professional conferences, seminars, books and articles and/or I will blog my personal thoughts. Either way, I hope you check in often, so you know that your tears are never shed in a vacuum!

About Me
- Ms. Baby Boomer-dang
- Dallas, TX, United States
- I am an educator and consultant, in the field of loss and grief. I love educating others, as well as learning from them, about life's little and big, happy and sad losses: marriage, divorce, moving away, losing one's health, aging gracefully.....or not......death of a loved one, a pet, a dream, children growing up and parents having to let go, etc. etc. Hopefully, you get the picture. Let's laugh, cry and learn together!
