Finding Hope in Change: Inspirational Poems about Moving On from Loss
Research has shown that people live longer when they are surrounded by people they love. We are beings that thrive in community and it is not healthy to deny ourselves human contact.

They can join you in time of celebration and also in times of tragedy. Having family or friends to support you as you go through tragedy is of monumental importance.
