It will be two years this coming July 5th that Tina passed away. It seems like yesterday, it seems like forever. So many memories, feelings. Some days I am fine, then there comes an especially beautiful or sad memory and I am right back to July 5th, 2007. I realize now that I am better than I was, thanks to everyone on Daily Strength. Wow, what would I have done without you? I wish I could meet all of you when you go to your get together, but that just won't happen, at least this year.
I know now that today, right now, what I am feeling is how I am going to feel for the rest of my life as far as Tina's passing. The pain has eased up, somewhat. That is the best I can hope for. My life goes on and I live for the other's in my life. Like someone told me, I will never get over it, I will just get used to it. Well, somedays yes, other days the pain and grief are like it happened yesterday.

I know the feeling, it will be 3 yrs this coming March for me, and some days it does feel like yesterday all over again. But we have to live for them.Love, Wilma

I just passed the two year mark. This last year was definitly much better than the first but the only thing time really does is remind us of the void. We have to make the choice to live and find joy again. I think somedays the memories carry us through and other days the memories come flooding back and remind us of our loss, but we have all been blessed by each other on this site. I know I have met so many wonderful women that have made me a better person, you included. I hope and pray your angel day is filled with beautiful memories and you can remind yourself of the blessing of having Tina in your life. I know the time was much too short but how awesome to have her as your daughter. Love to you. Robin

I am learning to accept that the hole will remain with me forever. I will think of you on July 5th as Tina makes her angel date. Love, Belinda

It has been 21 months, I too live in fog. Each day that passes is one closer to when I can be with my son. This is the new normal.
