Greetings Katie......so sorry for your loss. My son's birthday was this past Feb 19th, he passed away almost 16 months ago. I am still in just as much pain as I was when I was told that there was nothing else they could do for my son. I bought his favorite icecream cake and baked him his favorite homemade cake nd our family, including aunts/uncles, cousins and a few of his closest friends all came over to help me celebrate his life. I don't think I would have gotten through that day if I didn't get that support. I am so angry every morning that I wake and realize that I am facing another morning without my son being around or not hearing his voice........boy, did I take for granted that my son would always be around and live to be old. I could have never imagined he would be robbed of his young life at only 21yrs old! It really doesn't matter how old your child is when you lose them.....no parent would ever choose to bury their child. Helping me celebrate my son's life was very important and comforting to me...........I am angry at the world for "going on" WITHOUT my son.........it's very important for me to be reassured that my son is NOT forgotten by his family and friends. I say it over and over again.......my son is so much more than a "memory", he's my son and will alwyas be my son......he is not in the past tense to me. My pain is unmeasurable and never ending. At his birthday celebration, everyone told a funny story about him or imitated the one dance he always did. I played his favorite artists music.....Michael jackson and Bob Marley.
You are NOT alone........Karen R.
When a child passes it is like a pre judgment day. Going over all the things we should have done, and barely seeing what we did do. We are so hard on our selfs. We also are faced with pondering what we believe about why we are here and what happens when we die. So many people walk through the world not even wondering about these thoughts. They can seem very blessed. However everyone sooner or later will face loss.
The answers we find during grief, come from diving deep in to the dark . We do this in order find the light. The answers will not be the same for everyone, but what you find true for you is The truth for you, your wisdom. If you are confused about your answers, there is a golden question which tells you if you are listening to the right voice. Ask does this come from love or fear, if from love then you are on the right path.
Christmas is or should be all about love. Giving love or like Anne said buying presents in honor of your child to someone in need will make you feel better. Writing your child a Christmas letter is another idea which is very helpful. I heard of a women you has done this for years, and now is able to see through her letters all the gifts her childs passing has given her. I send all of you love, I know the pain, and I look, listen for the love. May the season have some joy for you, Coach Louise
