Writings on Grief and Resilience

---

I have written in journals since the mid-1970s. They began when I coached hockey at Amherst College. Written journals are like blogs to yourself. They are a way to process thoughts and emotions. I did lots of journaling when I was an academic administrator. Some of the characters and comments were reworked into The Commissioner. The journal tsunamis came with the deaths of our sons. Some of that material finds its way into the sections below

One Summit is a wonderful charity that brings together Navy SEALs and kids fighting cancer for sessions of indoor rock climbing that teach goal setting, grit, and resilience. It was founded in 2014 by one of Nate’s best SEAL friends, Adam LaReau.
