The leaves are beginning to turn brilliant colors and the evening air is crisp and brisk. Hearts may be a little heavier than normal with the seemingly endless cavalcade of natural disasters and man-made calamities. The cumulative effect of such relentless turmoil may be grief. It is normal to feel sad for what once was, feel loss for what is no more. Give yourself permission to feel whatever you are feeling. Feel it, honor it, and let it go. 

Part of your healing journey can be relating memories, singing songs, or telling stories. Recalling happier times, talking about past experiences, and telling stories about what once was, can help you process through events and help put things into perspective. Telling stories can also provide an opportunity for others to recall their own experiences and, perhaps, help them on their own healing journey.

We never journey alone. We are the living continuation of our parents, our grandparents, and all of our ancestors. Life passed through them to us. To honor them, we can strive to live life fully. One way to do both is to tell their stories. In doing so, they will always walk with us and giving us strength.
