Looking back over the past 6 1/2 years since my James became an angel I can see a lot of changes that have taken place....however one of the most recent for me has been letting go of more of his personal belongings that I have held on to.....to begin with I wouldn't let anybody touch or even go near his things....then slowly I began to give certain things to his sister and some of his very special friends.....I still have so many of his childhood toys and things of that sort that I have not been able to let go of until now...my little grandson has wanted many of his Uncle's toys and I would always say perhaps later....well my friends later has arrived and I have been able to let those things of James' go....and I feel good about that...to see that little boys eyes light up and tell me how special having is Uncle's things is to him makes me know that I made the right decision...what I am trying to say is that even though over the years people have said to me "why are you keeping all of those" to which they usually were told that "It was my choice and I didn't have to have a reason to do what I did or didn't do" to now being able to "LET GO" has brought me to a different stage in my "Grief" which is "Acceptance"

Perhaps I have had it longer than I know...but it is a different part of "Acceptance"

People share their grief in different ways and in their own time.

Your grief is "YOURS"...don't let anybody "Take your grief away."
