I believe there is no end to grieving for someone you loved and lost. I think you have to deal with your depression, your sense of loneliness, your anger, your needs, etc...and the list goes on and on in order to be able to function after such a loss,but you always grieve. I lost my son Nov. 2, 1969, 38 years ago, and I still grieve for him. Through the years I have learned that I have to deal with my loss, but to this day I still wish I could have him back. I had no choice but to move on after his death, but I remember everything just as though it happened yesterday and I know I will never forget anything, not even one little detail of that day. He is now tucked safely away in my heart where he will remain until the day I die, and I believe that will be the day I stop grieving for him because I will be with him. Hugs...Shannon |
