Almost his birthday...
My nephew's was killed over 2 yrs ago, Jan 1st, 2009. His birthday is coming up, May 11. Days like that are so hard to deal with, trying to think of something positive i can do that day to make it feel somehow better...people tell me to celebrate his life, rather than dwell on his death, but how do i do that?

I lost my son a year ago and I continue to find ways to celebrate him. A few weeks after he passed we had a celebration of life barbecue at the summer camp that he attended and where he worked as a counselor for several years. We planted a tree and I read a poem. We sang all the traditional camp songs and we all got up and told stories about the good times. I also made a photo slideshow to a song that reminded me of him and showed it on his birthday. Next week will be the first anniversary of his passing and I am making a placque to place under the tree. I am also putting together a book of memories, song lyrics and poems collected from everyone that knew him. His facebook page is still up and we all drop him a line from time to time. I am also thinking of releasing balloons with messages attached. Hope this helps.

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
