We watch the tree 'dance' from the front doors of our house that sits on a hill just above the little clearing where the tree is growing....

Same with me and triggers. It is so hard to finish grocery shopping. There is always something that reminds me of something he loved that I would make for him. I decided that on Dec.1 the 2nd angelversary I will make that onion soup. Just for him. I don't know why but I think that he wants me too. Gale - yes the 2nd year ...I am sorry to say seems to be about finally coming out of the shock. Yes I manage it better but the pain just doesn't get any less intense for me. I think that's where my anxiety is coming from....the reality is so clear now

Dolly - the hardest thing in the world is to forgive ourselves. I struggle with that as well. But I do know that you are a wonderful mother and gave your all to Brandon.

Teresa thanks for your understanding and nice to hear from you Michele

Lynn - SO glad you have Gena there and that you can garden together as a tribute to Kyra. That really is the ultimate tribute for her. I know she will be there with every seed planted.

<3 <3 <3 to all

It's a blessing your daughter Genna moves home. She needs you as much as you do her. I cry too when talking to my son. What others feel comfort in I don't. What he loved like countchocula cereal in October, or his favorite store or ice cream, etc doesn't bring me memory comfort. It takes me out. These triggers devastate me. My visits with my daughter and grandchildren soften the pain. It's still there. But it's different.

Hello,

Sorry I haven't been on for a bit - it's so good to hear what you have to say Teresa.  Is it true that the 2 year mark is often harder to bear?  I'm told that during the first year, there is so much anxiety and worry about how to handle one milestone after another.  When year 2 comes around the reality of our loss hits us smack in the face and that's when we really get the message that our loved one isn't coming back ......I'm 4 months in this and my biggest fear is that my precious Michael's life will fade into the backdrop of life.  I don't ever want to lose that closeness -
