Dealing with Death from Within

When a prisoner deals with the death of a family member, he or she has to embrace it from within. Aside from getting support from family members and friends, fellow prisoners can make a difference. One form of support from prisoners is often the signing of a condolence card. Besides that, time for reflection in solitude is crucial.

My friend Stephen lost his father recently. I'm glad that a good friend is by his side to help him through this tough time. My thoughts are with him.
