Whether we like or not it, people depend on us. And, we depend on them. As poet John Donne said, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” When we each play our part and commit ourselves to being responsible and doing our duty, things tend to turn out well. It all begins with those closest to us and then reaches out like ripples on a pond.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
