WARM EMBRACE: A professional grief counselor said that when her father died, she and her mother and sisters went through his personal effects and distributed everything but his overcoat hanging in the hallway. She volunteered numerous times to take the coat to Goodwill, but her mother always declined, saying she would take care of it.
The overcoat hung by the front door for ten years, until her mother died. She had died in her sleep, and was found wearing her husband's coat. What appeared to others as only a piece of clothing was for her a way of staying close to her husband (newsletter of St. Peter's Church in Chicago, March 26).
