The week leading up to it was much harder for me than the day also. Remembering what they went through is, I think, the hardest part of survivors. 1 year is not magical, sorry....I kind of expected it to be that way too. But some things we never 'get over', they just become part of our being, and while we're never okay with them, we learn to incorporate that new part of our identity into our lives.

Releasing those balloons sounds like an absolutely lovely idea, and that's so incredibly sweet and thoughtful of your daughter to get a tattoo in his memory. I hope you find solace in each other today and always, you'll be in my thougts.

I Don't know you, but I just wanted to send you some hugsss!!!!

I know how you feel!!

I lost my daughter to a car crash 2 and a 1/2 years ago and the grief and pain doesn't fade with time.
You just learn to cope a bit better with it.

We also do the messages on the balloons every year. Steph's funeral dress code was pink as it was her fave colour and we named this day pink day. so every year on that day we gather together and release pink ballons. Her school even did a pink day in her memory.

I am sorry for your loss ~~~Heapz of hugs~~~

Thanks again everyone for your wonderful thoughtfulness! Well, I made it through the day. I had a few real good cries. I read something a little while after Josh died. It said: "you won't get over it, you will just get through it" It is so true. I want this horrible empty feeling to go away, but am now realizing it won't go away. It is just how my life is now. I will get used to this feeling and it will one day become "normal". I now have a new compassion for others who lose someone close to them. Experience is a very good teacher. I could never have imagined all of the things you go through while grieving someone you love. I did read your blog today Teri. Thanks. My daughter's tatoo is almost just like one Josh had which had his brother and sister's names on it. She said it was painful, I am just glad it is done. I get so upset when my kids are in pain. I am grateful for the caring friends I have made on this forum. I don't always post a lot but I get on all of the time and read what others have written. I guess I will always feel connected to the CF Community. Thanks again everyone for your support.
