A Message from Candace
I have good holiday seasons and not so good. The ones that are good are the ones in which Cari's death and my grief doesn't dominate the season and my every waking thought. The ones that aren't so good are the ones in which my grief is a priority interfering in every joyous event I plan. I never know how it is going to be until it is or isn't. What helps is knowing that what I am doing as the result of her death will hopefully prevent others from experiencing the same tragedy and devastation that I did. Every once in a while, I receive a thank you from a survivor who just wants to show her appreciation for what I am doing "and how inspiring it is!" That makes my day.
This season, love your family like there is no tomorrow. Do something kind for someone else and if you know a victim or survivor go out of your way to offer a shoulder to cry on.
If you are hosting or going to a party follow our tips so you and others can stay safe.
Focus on life saving by stopping at stop signs, going no more then the speed limit, turning off your mobile devices when driving, keeping your passengers safe, wearing a seat belt and respecting the rules of the road. No matter what you celebrate I want you to stay safe and have a wonderful time.
Because I care . . .
