One of the things that some grieving people have found helpful in expressing their feelings is to write a letter to their loved one. In the letter you can share your love, your sorrow, your disappointments, your anger, etc... and you can say "Good-bye" in a way that you my have been robbed of. Why don't you try it? If you would like to share your writing at our next meeting, please bring your letter with you, of if you choose to keep the experience a personal one, then take that path. Do what works for you!
Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am married to my husband for almost 5yrs. We had 2 children: Tatum and Anthony.We lost Tatum our 4yr old daughter on January 16th,2009. She was born November 19th,2007. She was taken to the NICU moments after she was born, they later found several heart defects that required surgery. We was in St. Louis for her 3rd open heart surgery when she died. We still don't understand why she is gone, and we miss her so much.
Ok so I guess I'm not great at these blogs but, just wanted to put something down in writing since I haven't been able to come to group. I had my first birthday without my mom in March. I wish we could've forgot it but my husband and Dad insisted on celebrating. It felt pointless since the woman who gave me birth was not there. That was a hard day. Much harder than Christmas, New Years, etc. Then the next month was the first of her birthdays since she passed away. I wanted to get her something but ended up just getting flowers for her grave. I NEVER visit her grave but it was important to my Dad that we go and it felt good to be there. It was raining, pretty hard. It seemed the weather just exemplified the mood. We also found out that month that my Dad's cancer has come back. We found out yesterday that he has two options. One is to do a minor procedure so that he lives the rest of his days comfortably, but with cancer. We were not given a time frame or what quality of life would be like with that option. The other option is a VERY HIGH RISK surgery. The odds that there will be complications that could lead to an early death are just as good as him recovering fully and living a slightly uncomfortably but cancer-free life. The surgery would be on June 1 if he decides to do that. Thats the day before my mom passed last year. Thats freaking us out a little. My husband has been an incredible shoulder to cry on and has been here to support me and my Dad. We had our son, Vincent, in December. He has been more than an angel and a blessing on our family. Without him life would be bleak. He's given my Dad REAL reason to want to live a long time and not just give up to see my mom again, and for that I am grateful. We have a long road ahead of us and I pray that the next time I get on here I wont blog about BOTH of my parents....
