Keeping him alive in your conversations helps. The more you talk about him with your children, sharing stories and memories, the more you'll remain feeling connected to an important part of who you are. Does that make sense? I hope so. And while I'm not so religious, I strongly believe their energy is still around you and always will be.Chris Eldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794946908789120139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084768152849313070.post-69368665912108902862008-10-13T13:47:00.000-04:002008-10-13T13:47:00.000-04:00I hated to read this news.

I can see now that it will be sometimes before you can say that. <BR/><BR/>I am so sorry for your sad and tragic loss. My mom died seven years ago Oct 18. One thing I will tell you from my experience is to allow yourself to feel whatever you feel as you feel it. I know that sounds silly, but people around you will want you to be better, maybe sooner than you are ready. They will be well intentioned, but there is no road map through mourning and it is different for each of us. Respect your body, your mind, and your spirit and allow yourself to go through this process however you need to. I will also tell you, from my experience, the first year is tough, but for me, the second year was even tougher because you know then what to expect. Just take it slow and cry when you want to and break things when you need to and know that loving a person never needs to end.<BR/><BR/>*kisses and hugs*Sheri Perl-Oshinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025716805041579831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084768152849313070.post-11454970422549924932008-10-13T09:43:00.000-04:002008-10-13T09:43:00.000-04:00Danette, I am so very sorry.
