It’s been about a three weeks since we have gone into our bee hive to check on the progress of our little fuzzy friends. For a while there nothing was happening. We could see the bees going out to forage, and returning with big fat pollen pants, but no new cone was being made. We were quite worried when after one inspection we found the bees had made a new queen cell. This being our first year, when anything happened our anxiety level went through the roof. I am quite happy to say that during the last inspection the bees had started making lots of new comb and it was clear that we had to add another box to the hive to give them much needed room. Today I my partner in crime and I will be going in again to see what progress is being made and we will take lots of pictures. Updates coming soon!

How to deal with the death of a loved one? The notification of the death of a loved one is a devastating event. Once a loved one is gone, family and friends are left to cope with his memory and absence. But how? Mourning: The Day After Loss offers practical advice and insight into the process of coping with grief and bereavement based on extensive experience and research.

The book focuses on Israeli protocols and traditions of grief but offers universal insight.

Practical insight on coping with grief and bereavement. The death of a loved one surfaces pressing dilemmas: How should the deceased be commemorated in daily life and special occasions, such as holidays, birthdays, and memorials?

How should one remember, and how does one find the power to live on?

Cherry Blossom Diaries Buffalo to Washington1942-1945
Mary Mullett-Flynn
4.9 Stars (19 Reviews)
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs

FREE for a limited time

Cherry Blossom Diaries from Buffalo to Washington On March 19, 1942 my husband’s aunt boarded a train headed from Buffalo to Washington, D.C. She was twenty-one years old, and was driven by an overwhelming desire to help win the war. As it was in those days, her father had decided that sending her to college would have been a waste of money since she would undoubtedly marry. He did, however, subsidize secretarial classes to help her find a job until she could find a man to provide for her. How very wrong he was. Her career ended up spanning over 36 years and her service included secretary in the War Department at the Pentagon from 1942 to 1945; civilian duty in Japan during the U.S. Occupation; assignment in the Office of the Army Chief of Staff during the Korean War; secretary to the U.S. Representative, NATO Military Committee and Standing Group; secretary to the Air Deputy, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe; and secretary to two Administrators of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. She was the family’s “matron aunt” and upon her death in 1998 my mother-in-law bequeathed her diaries to me dating from 1942 to 1945: her Cherry Blossom years. This novel is based on her entries during those days. Names have been changed and some circumstances have been slightly altered, but the story is true. These people lived and loved and sacrificed. I believed their story is one that should be shared.
