For many people, this is a season of celebrations. However, the holidays are often a difficult time for those of us who are bereaved and coping with loss. Many bereaved and injured people face this season with apprehension often in fear of their emotional reactions to what are supposed to be happy, memorable events.It is important to remember during this time, not to drink and drive. As I was just made aware of a good friend that lost a friend on Christmas Eve to a drunk driver, I want people to remember, please don't drink and drive. It seems like an old cliche, however we can never hear it enough.
Also know, buzzed driving kills the same as drunk driving! It is no different than distracted driving. Today a family in Weston is grieving the loss of a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a cousin and a resident that gave so much so everyone she came in contact with. Whether it was via social media (Facebook) or in person, she wore her heart and her generosity with her at all times. Our hearts, prayers and thoughts are with her family.
Within a few seconds her life was lost to a drunk driver. This was only a short time after she posted a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all her friends on Facebook.....
Just because I love you.... please, think twice before you pick up those keys after having even a glass of wine.... Merry Christmas.... - Jill Dahne....
