I am so glad the holidays are finally over.
Understandably, I elected not to celebrate a tradition Christmas. Instead, my girlfriend and I attended a remembrance candle lighting ceremony at St. Benedict Church.
The candle lighting memorial ceremony was intentionally developed to be personal and engaging for everyone. It was a nice memorial tribute.
I could not have made it through the holidays without the emotional support of Raney, my bereavement group, and a few close friends. Since new year's eve I have been pretty depressed.
I am glad you are able to find peace.
Take care,
Astrid

hi Astrid.. oh the holidays were up and down.. my exhusband and our children held me up and got me through it.. along with God first and formost... im just happy that its a new year with new possiblities... note: 2 days after christmas.. i was happy and felt good for the children all gave me gifts... and my exhusband was giving me encouragement...then out of the blue.. i get a crystal dove sent by the funeral home that did the services for me.. they had my boyfriends bd and dd on it.. it was a orament to be hung on the tree... the children were watch me and wanted to know what was the special ups package... i just sat there and was in complete shock.. i didnt have any real emotion. i just was quiet for what seemed like a good 15 min..but really 5 mins... just when you are moving a lil forward.. here comes a reminder.. now i know they were only trying to bring comfort...but im trying to move forward.. i dont need consent reminder.. i have 2 beautiful daughters by him to remind me of his once existence in this world. I know this will be a long journey for peace.. but i have God to give me peace , strenght and guidance.. and few good loveones to cheer me on.. thanks for your comment..smiles.
