First of all, my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. My cat passed just a little over a year ago and my heart remains broken. I have a new cat now that I have had for about 6 months and she is a sweetheart, so she helps fill the void because she is so wonderful and has some similar traits - mostly a very pleasing personality - to my cat who passed away.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
