Please include your full name and address.A New Mourning
In “Grieving India”
(March 2019), someone
was finally able to
express their loss in
words that allowed me
to feel comforted by—
instead of guilty
about—all the pain I have gone through since the loss of both of my
children. My son went missing from a ranch in British Columbia in
2013, and my daughter died 10 months later. The author writes,
“The truth is that our society has embraced a death-denying culture
that renders many in mourning powerless.” Thank you for empow-
ering me to be the person I have become by drowning out the criti-
cism of those who tell me to move on or get over it.
