What life change has been the toughest to adjust to?
Stories from Strangers
We’ll have a new question here every month for you to answer and engage with. Think of this as an online journal, except everyone gets a page in the book, and no one knows who’s written what (fun!).
Pour your heart out or read through the pages of someone else’s heart. Either way, we hope you find comfort in reading these stories from strangers.

Death of my sister, she was not my only sister, but man was she special, It is almost three years since her passing, but it stills feels so fresh, there are days when I think of her and just cry, i think of how she passed and I cry, I know I am getting better because I can somehow speak about it but not really .
