I force my mouth to form a smile, but it is hard to look people in the eyes. I hear my dads voice whispering, Eye contact, Anna. But making eye contact means seeing and being seen. I try to avoid it.

WITH US. With extraordinary honesty, Anna Hodges Oginsky shares how she experienced grief after the sudden death of her father.

As Oginsky reveals her personal insights into loss and life, we find a friend who affirms for us that, as we too grieve, we are not alone.
