Birthdays
Went round to pick up my Grandson Owen to take him to school, checking that he had every thing for the day, I found a birthday card he had made for his Dad, his Dad would have been 42 in a fortnight, the card read “Hiya dad, hope you are happy in heaven, I cuddle up to mam for you, hope you have a happy birthday, love owen”. On the way to school he asked me why I was crying, I had to tell him I had forgot my sunglasses and the sun was in my eyes, seems every body is handling it better than me!

Hi Don..I’m so sorry..I lost my son on March 12th this year, ten months after I lost my husband.
On June 6th my boy would have been 42, I don’t think there is an easy way..there’s not even a hard way..You just hang on and keep your family. friends and community close…tears are OK…well sure hope they, for I shed many.
Take care, hug your grandson for me….Bless xxxx
My thoughts are with you Don. .It’s never easy to lose our loved ones…it’s ok to cry tears help to wash the pain away…
Love to you and your family…
Hi Don, please accept my deepest condolences on the sad loss of your son. I can only imagine your grief and pain – none of us want to outlive our children.
I think the best way to handle grief is not to be stoical and hold it in – it won’t go away just because you refuse to acknowledge it. Personally, I think you should’ve allowed your grandson to see your tears, and told him you were grieving for his Daddy too. I could be wrong here, but I think if you had both wept in each other’s arms, it would be contributing greatly to the healing process.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Don. God bless and comfort you all.
((((((((((((don))))))))))) you are a good man. xxxx
Hugs to you from me too Don and I agree with jojo – I think we hide too much from our children/grandchildren and should let them experience life as it is. I am sorry for your loss and yes we all do deal with grief in our own way, and please allow yourself to grieve and in time the pain will ease. Take care xoxox
