One Week Later

Last night I had a very useful phone conversation with my friend, Faye, who has been a grief counselor for many years.  Her words were very helpful.  I do believe the loss of a child is a terrible hurt that never totally ends.  "Getting over it" is not going to happen.  So, the work is to recognize that, accept it, and live with it.  I am surprised at how deeply I feel Chris's death.  Perhaps if I didn't have sons myself, I could be less affected.  My heart goes out to Justin, Donna, and Steve.  This morning, in that order.  At other times, I change the order, but not the depth.  I will keep sending positive energy to each of you.
