I admire your determination to go on affirming life despite your devastating loss.<BR/><BR/>I hope that writing of Ben will continue to keep him with you, and to help you as you struggle to make some sense of his life, illnesses and tragic death.<BR/><BR/>I wish you a Shana Tova - a sweet, meaningful and happy (yes, happy!) New Year.<BR/><BR/>With best wishes,<BR/><BR/>SaraSusan (Sara) Avitzourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178913845437517694noreply@blogger.com
