How do you do with recall of that year? So many of us have people we know who are no longer with us. How do you recall or even honor a time of life that hurt so many people.  Some people find their voice in tragedy and some people lose it. Sometimes we even lose our voice because we can’t articulate our truest thoughts.

I will not lie and tell you there were times (not extended) but brief times where I felt speechless. Would what I would want to say be received well? Would it seem inconsiderate to the people around me? Was it something that would resonate with others? Would it validate me to hear other people are feeling the same thing?
