September A Month of Grief

I know that many of us are finding September a tough month as we “celebrate” anniversaries – mixed with those feelings,I keep opening the paper and seeing the most awful tragedies
- The shooting in Finland of 10 students
- Hurricanes across the world
- Wars destroying families
- Mothers who kill their children
This is a strange month in which I balance the happiness of enjoying that time with my mum and the heartache of the loss of both loved ones and hearing of the death of others.Are we just more sensitive to news of bereavement? Does death or loss stand out to us more? Has death always been around or is there really more tragic disasters at the moment?
