When someone you love crosses over, time stands still. 28 years after losing my brother, Michail, it still feels like yesterday. I still reach for the phone to call him whenever something hilarious happens, or when I find a great cruise deal. He definitely left me his sense of humor – I was not this funny before.

Tell the stories of your loved ones after they are gone. In the story telling, they remain with us and they can still see the world through your eyes.
