Been too long...
Message to my daughter...it's been so long, yet seems like just tonight. It is so hard to be alone. I miss you terribly. Your friends try their best to stay in touch. It's so thoughtful.... This year is hurting so much. Your dad seems so distant. He won't talk. Maybe it's just the time ... birthday in November, holidays, Angel date next month. Hey love you.... uppies and hugs beautiful girl. XXXOOO MOM

Some days, it'seems just hard to believe it all is real. The holiday brings a crushing blow. We smile but it hides the the hole in our heart. I hope it helps a bit by writing your message and sharing. Hugs!
Understanding those feelings that all pass like waves through us and hope that you can catch your breath and have some moments of pause in the midst.
Your message is heartfelt and one that I know your daughter is embracing.
Hugs of care,
XO Joanie
I am so glad you shared. I could've written this journal. The different triggers, some more easily anticipated than others, seem to always hit us making it really hard to even breathe.
Be gentle with yourself. Trust that your husband is processing his grief the only way he knows how right now.
Really tight hugs,
Merrilee
