A Plea for National Service

Not Just a Widow

by Sue Litera

On life and love after loss – and claiming the freedom to define family your own way.

Like the fabled blind people describing the elephant, we are all both limited by our unique perspectives, and privy to the insight such perspectives yield. We make sense of the same world, but come to such wildly different conclusions.

Every angle of this is fascinating to us at The Elephant.
We are looking to see this shared world through various perspectives, and to understand how those perspectives came to be.

Explain your view; explore someone else’s. Tell us of a time when the focus shifted, and a changed version of the truth came into view.
