    Thinking of you
    It's so hard to see our loved ones in pain or in distress. I think that the realization that they are free from pain, suffering, and disease helps to keep us from going stark, raving mad. I will keep you in my prayers.

    Anniversaries are hard
    Michelle,
    I understand how you feel. It seems like I was doing fine too but when the first anniversary of Tom, my husbands death was Mar. 25th all I did was cry. Once the day passed, I was okay again. Sounds like your husband suffered alot. Mine didn't cause he was only sick for 2 months and actually died from a RARE side effect from Avastin. It was quick and we never even got to say goodbye. In fact we hadn't even gotten used to him having cancer when he was taken from me suddenly/
    I think your idea of releasing balloons was neat. Wish I would've thought of that. I feel bad cause we have crypts so I can't even put flowers on a grave.
    Please take care Michelle! We'll all make it!!! Carole

    Those Days
    It will be 18 months for me in a couple days. Sometimes I feel Ike it was yesterday, sometimes forever. We are still grieving and that's ok. Crying is ok, too. Our hearts will always miss them, but we will still move forward. Thank goodness for family, especially grandchildren! Take care, Fay

    Our Grieving Journey
    Hello Michelle
    I lost my dad to EC a year ago March. On the anniversary of his death, I looked at it as his 1st Anniversary in Heaven. This made me smile, and feel happy for him. He is now happy, not suffering, and not in constant pain. Try your best to celebrate Angel's life on earth, and now in heaven. His life before the cancer. All the good times you had together. You will see him again. God made us that promise. God keeps his promises. Keep you faith. Believe in God. Know that we are always here for each other. Lean on us whenever you need to.
