The Raw Spot
I had a loss of an immediate family member this week, and it has reminded me of the following talk that I find comforting. It is Buddhist in nature, but don't worry, people are not sitting around chanting.

My sincerest condolences and my best possible HUG are sent to you and your family...
After the harshest of Winters, once again there will be Spring.
Peace to you.

Thank you for your thoughtful messages after this sad event. I imagine many (if not all) of you know how many tasks there are to be done after such a thing, and thoughts to be sorted through. I will be back, and when I am I will walk over to my favorite corner of the forum, put something up, and then do my usual sporadic contributions.
