Lessons from Literature - Stories Dealing with Death and Loss: Learn from the oldest form of communication and education - storytelling

In this series we examine particular facets of ourselves and, with the aid of many classic authors, delve into characters and stories that not only entertain us, but inform us on how short stories can help us both deal and understand issues that touch and weave into our lives with the words and narratives of many wise talents.

In this volume our literary friends offer their talents and stories to help us deal, and perhaps reconcile, our feelings of loss with the reality that the world moves on and we must too, however painful that process may seem and even become.
