Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Compassion can heal


--by kjoyw, posted May 12, 2016
Made a decision this morning to reach out to my ex-brother-in-law. Divorce from my sister was a bitter one and she was left to raise two young children on her own. That was all many years ago and there has not been any contact to speak of. But sadly and very tragically, his brother quite suddenly transitioned last week. Have gotten a special card and will write him this afternoon. Regardless of what happened in the past, he has lost his brother and he is grieving.
