Almost his birthday...
My nephew's was killed over 2 yrs ago, Jan 1st, 2009. His birthday is coming up, May 11. Days like that are so hard to deal with, trying to think of something positive i can do that day to make it feel somehow better...people tell me to celebrate his life, rather than dwell on his death, but how do i do that?

I lost my son a year ago and I continue to find ways to celebrate him. A few weeks after he passed we had a celebration of life barbecue at the summer camp that he attended and where he worked as a counselor for several years. We planted a tree and I read a poem. We sang all the traditional camp songs and we all got up and told stories about the good times. I also made a photo slideshow to a song that reminded me of him and showed it on his birthday. Next week will be the first anniversary of his passing and I am making a placque to place under the tree. I am also putting together a book of memories, song lyrics and poems collected from everyone that knew him. His facebook page is still up and we all drop him a line from time to time. I am also thinking of releasing balloons with messages attached. Hope this helps.

"is griefshare a website like this?"

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.

It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
