This page contains poems, stories, and links to helpful information about death, grieving, coping, and living again.  There is a lot of information here.  Much of it may make you cry or feel angry...that's OK.  In time, you will feel stronger and will stop by this site for other reasons.  That will be an important step in healing the loss of our Mandi.

Many of the items below are from writers who have also dealt with a loss.  They have left thoughts and feelings for others in the future so that we may benefit from their healing and experiences...just as we hope to do here too.

Email author if you've written anything for Mandi and would like to have it published on her memorial site.
