Here it is, 3:45 am, on the cusp of one of those bittersweet days. This time two years ago was the last 24 hours of my Robyn’s life. He was in the ICU, alone, critically ill, and fighting to survive.
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!
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.
Thinking of you through this most difficult season. Love you Judy. Happy birthday to Michael.
Thank you dear friend. I love you

Thank you very much
Hi, I too am thinking of you and sending you warm wishes and hugs. My son's birthday is the 25th, but he'll be 63.
Thank you and happy birthday to your son
That hole will always be there. I am so happy that you had what time you did with the love of your life. That's rare. Love you!
Thank you. Love you

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

Thank you. I'm in a very rural area and that kind of help is not readily available here. I appreciate your suggestions.
I wish there was something I could do to easy your pain :(.
Thank you for caring
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.
Thank you my dear friend!
I can't even imagine how soul crushing this must be for you. All the best for you and your son!
Thank you very much.
Thank you so very much! I appreciate your kind words
