“I forget how to prepare meals” is a comment I have heard several times from the primary cook in a family after a sudden and/or traumatic death loss, which is defined by the individual, not myself.

Over thirty-five years ago my elderly neighbour Mrs. McKellar, said it was important to have friends in every age grouping. At the time there was an over fifty years difference in our ages.

Sometimes, people have suicide in their mind when deciding to purchase life insurance. Perhaps the individual who […]
