“Rick, how do I deal with the reminders?” is a question I’m asked just about every day. The pain of the reminder is excruciating, I know. Often times a reminder can come so fast you don’t know it till it hits you and when it hits you, it usually strikes with a blow that makes you shudder. While reminders can be an everyday occurrence for the first year or so, they are not to be taken lightly. They have within them, the power to push buttons that no one should have pushed and no one wants pushed. Nevertheless, the most we can do is expect them to come and have a plan for when they do come.  It does get easier and you do get smarter in your coping skills.

Take for example Samuel’s most recent story of a reminder. I’d like to invite you to watch his latest vlog on a very telling, very personal story from just two weeks ago:
