The Empty Seat
(2 of 2)

Sit as if you were around a table and tell stories of your family--stories of suffering, yes, but also stories of overcoming. Sitting together around food is healing. It helps us make meaning of what has happened. The meaning may be simply this: some of us are still here, we still have each other, and we can go on.
