almost 6 months
It has been almost 6 months since my son died of suicide and some days it is better than others. We had our group session last night and that always help for a while. Have a problem, do you think I should get my daughter-in-law something for valentines? We are close and I talk to her every day but we wonder if it will bring up too many memories. We are going to have our two grandkids over Sunday night so their mom can work on Monday. We love to have them.

I don\'t know how to answer that one...my situation is so different. I have thought about sending a copy of a card to my son\'s wife (one of his that he sent her one year that i have in his possessions) but it would be cruel of me...we hold her responsible for much of his agony. we are estranged.
You can\'t help but bring up memories...it is what it is...you won\'t cause anything new by reminding her of your love for her as a part of your family, I guess you would just be telling her that you will always cherish her even when eventually her life will include a new relationship. Since there are grandchildren, I would hope that she will always include the grandparents in their lives no matter what. I just can\'t say anymore...nothing is for certain and that is what I know to be the truth in my life. I hope it will be different for you. Have a good visit with your grandchildren. Do what your heart tells you.
hugs and valentines....dale,,,,brandon\'s mom
