On the darker side
of the year.  When days are
short and nights long to
be anything but warm.
The loss of life, no
matter how quick and
painless it may be, for
loved ones it is full of
pain and depression.
Tears fall expressing
sorrow and emotional
turmoil.  Calling upon
all their strength and will
to survive.  Family and
friends unite to comfort each
other, and overcome this
time of depair
