Read the book A Grief Observed. One of the greatest writers of a generation journaled through the grief of losing his wife and shared it with us. Not only does it give us an insight into those who have lost, this book shows us that when we are in the valley of grief we are not alone, nor the first one to travel that path. Encourage one another, brothers!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: “Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.”— George S. Patton

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” – Mahatma Gandhi
