Griefcase is a safe place for individuals going through the grief process. At Griefcase, mourners receive support and access to helpful information.
I quit the day job to follow my passion. At this time, I am writing a memoir, fulfilling a promise to write a book. You can learn more about my writing journey at www.bookorbust.blogspot.com
I am a widow and after the death of my husband more than five years ago, I turned to the internet for support. There was nothing out there at the time, so I invented Griefcase honoring famous widows and offering a daily quote for inspiration and silly joke for comic relief. Through Griefcase, and the many followers who wrote thanking me for blogging, I shared how to turn an upside smile right side up again.
I created this blog shortly after the death of my husband, Edward Louis Sclier, who died in May 2004.
Griefcase blog received so many visitors it has morphed into a real website, www.griefcase.net
At this time, through the new website, I am working currently on a cafe’ which sells books through Amazon.com. Soon, I will have other offerings, as well. Fingers crossed, time will tell how successful it will be.
Any individual going through the grief process is welcome at Griefcase. It doesn’t have to be a widow. I receive queries from parents who have lost young children, moms who have lost a son or daughter in the war, a daughter who lost her mom and was upset over seeing her father dating again–I once receved an email from a woman who had lost her pet. At Griefcase, ALL persons wondering what the heck do I d now that He/She/Fido/Pluto o longer by their side are welcome to share their story in safety.
Not as much as I once did. Writing my book sucks up a lot of my time. But, I am constantly receiving emails from mourners and I am available by email direct at all times filling requests for my free ebook, “Treasury of Quotations.”
I cry not for the individual going through the grief process, but with him or her. Because, I am a widow, and where they are now, I once was. And I want all mourners to know that if I can get through the grief process, so can they.
Give useful information, some golden nugget of information that your reader can take away with them to remember, and perhaps apply to their own life. Well, you know, food for thought.

In this election campaign season, with so much airwave time being bought for the delivery of negative messages — deprecations, disparagements, denigrations — it is surely noteworthy that there is a place where those who are distressed by actual loss can find reassuring messages, along with comfort, solace, and counsel. How sad that so much effort (and money!) is spent on put-downs and political sparring (and scarring). Griefcase, for all the sadness that it draws, is far more uplifting than anything we get in a political campaign ad.
This is really some awesome advice. Keep it up, my colleagues would love this.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
I simply want to say I’m new to weblog and really loved your website. Most likely I’m planning to bookmark your blog . You surely come with incredible well written articles. Many thanks for sharing your web page.
