Why now?  It's a natural feeling, as if first then and then "what next?"  But there are steps to take, some need to be taken right away - others can wait a while.  For example, any financial decision should be postponed for a year or more, if at all possible.  The grieving person need to get from that natural place of darkness to a more upbeat, active stance -- an "Ok, what's next?" place.  Hence today's topic -- Adding the "S".  If you've listened to Debra Morrison before, you know what that S is likely to stand for... if not, you'll have to wait and hear, as Debra takes us through a crisp 30 minute look at this particular aspect of being widowed.
