Loss and Grief: How are you doing?

First, I send you my heartfelt condolences. In 2007 my elder daughter, the mother of my twin grandchildren, died from the injuries she received in a car crash. Tears are healing. My husband and I cried anytime we needed to for as long as we needed to. We also set up a buddy system for driving to prevent a car accident. One of us would be the driver and the other the lookout. Talk about your son all you want. Say his name and say it often. He was part of your life and always will be. Remember that love lasts forever. Is there something you could do in memory of your son? You might give books to the public library, for example. Contrary to popular belief, time doesn't heal all wounds. Rather, you learn to live with loss. Your son would want you to be happy and enjoy life. Life this day in honor of him.

One last thought. Have you heard of The Compassionate Friends? It's an international organization for those who have lost a child and family members too. Go on line and enter the search words The Compassionate Friends. The website will appear. There may be a chapter near you. This is the only organization and understands my loss and encourages me to say Helen's name. You will find understanding and support at chapter meetings and I recommend it highly.
