Those two pictures tell so much. It is obvious to me that love has surrounded you and your family. What a fortunate life. Not lucky, fortunate. You did this.

Grief and gladness at once, a hard journey for sure. Thanks for sharing your pain, and I pray when you hug your son you will experience some healing and peace.

I attended a funeral for a very dear friend on Saturday. The sermon was particularly good (opposite of some of the cringy homilies I have heard at funerals). He said that grief is a long process in which we mush be constantly returning our loved one to God (the universe) out of thankfulness. I think you are right in the middle of that process, and that is where you ought to be. I hope the birthday celebration brings you all so much joy!

Thank you. I know its a process and I just have to keep walking the journey. Some days are better than others.

My heart is so broken for you, I wish I had a magic wand and could just wave it all away, but then it would wave away all those precious memories. Do you have a grief councilor that could help you through the times that are harder than the others? There may be some that can help through some organizations for free or at a very reduced fee. Do you have any LDS friends close by? If you do, you might ask them if you could get a blessing of comfort. Blessings are for all, the Savior never denied blessings to anyone in need of them.

Thank you. I'm in a very rural area and that kind of help is not readily available here. I appreciate your suggestions.

My heart is always with you, but moreso during these days. I think of all three you often and hold space for your individual journeys.
