TABOO TOPICS
Taboo Topics is a series dedicated to sharing stories from real live people [mostly who i know] on real life issues, situations or experiences that are seldom spoken about for various reasons. So far the topics that have been addressed [with links to all the stories] are the following:
Dealing with the Grief of losing Someone you Love
Living with Disabilities/Special Needs
Marriage [when it’s not been easy]
Parents of Young Children [where it hasn’t all been easy and fun and struggle free]
I hope these will be of encouragement to you and to friends and family who you know who have been through similar things – please feel free to share the stories or send links to people who you think might appreciate them.
