"Steve, I just read the poem you posted. That too is beautiful and describes our grief in a way that resonates with me very much. And yes, love comes with a price, and we here are willing to pay the price, as steep as it may be. That's true…"

Trina Mamoon commented on Steve Cain's group Bereaved Spouses

"Dear All, I have been silent for a long time. There are many reasons for that. Firstly, December 21st, Winter Solstice is our marriage anniversary; it would have been our 16th (we were together for 19 years). Also, up here in Alaska it gets very…"

Sending hugs,

Elvira
