While documentaries and news reports keep 9/11 fresh in our minds so we never forget why we're fighting, my prayers and concerns are for the families of those who perished. A big part of the healing process after the death of a loved one is simply the passage of time. While you never forget, the edge comes off the sadness, the pain is not so acute. It usually takes a year after the death for this to happen, you must go through all the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries without your loved one. With constant reminders in the media about 9/11, the survivors are not allowed to heal. There are no easy answers.
