Making
a Difference: "BAD CROSSINGS KILL GOOD DRIVERS" (R)
Dennis
and Vicky Moore couldn't understand how such a tragedy could occur. Local media
portrayed the accident as the result of "driver trying to beat the train" or
because they were teenagers, "they must've been on drugs or drinking," but the
Moores knew they had to find the truth.
The
Second Time Around
By Richard Mirabile
"...I
knew that being newly bereaved the second time was the last place that I ever thought that
I would be. I also knew that, as bad as I felt, it would not be like that forever.
I had traveled this road before. I knew that I was not alone, had
acquired new tools, and had a very large family of TCF-ers I could lean on..."
The Worldwide Candle Lighting By Wayne Loder
This is truly a time
when all bereaved parents and family members can join together, no matter where they may
be, to tell the world a special child lived and will always be remembered.
The Highest Height By Susan L.
Lipson
It was time to let go - their time and mine. I need no more string, I'm free.
But their love steadies me on my journey, like the kite tail, guiding, but not holding
me. They know that now. I can see it in their souls, glowing from their eyes.
TCF International
Gathering By Cathy Seehuetter
I will always remember the wonderful people I met from all over the globe.
Though we were from many different countries and cultures, we spoke the universal
language of grief, when then translated into compassion, love and understanding.
Dreams: A Blessing in
Disguise By Carla Blowey
As I recorded my dreams to preserve these "new" memories of Kevin, a pattern
emerged of other dreams that mirrored the pain and reality of our separation. Each
night my fears, desires, and memories united on my dream screen, illustrating the
persistent themes of guilt, loss, and abandonment.

As the weekend progressed, however, I came to see that while it is indeed
overwhelming, the very essence of this beautiful support system is found in its
