While it is certain life is never the same again for those who have lost loved ones, there are always stages of "moving on" with life. For Elie (and undoubtedly, his wife) of Elie's Expositions, this week was a rough one, as preparations for Pesach brought back memories of last year's. Then, Elie was instructed to stop saying kaddish; and finally, Sy Syms named an award in Aaron's honor and memory. All of these bring both sadness and grief and, to some extent, a sense of closure.

Thanks for the post and for your invariable support.
