This is the fifth holiday season that I have had without Zach. It is still so hard to believe. The first of every thing without your child, especially a holiday, is so very hard. In a way it is even harder now because now I am no longer numb and I can't fool myself into believing that he is just away hanging out with his friends. Zach's birthday is coming up, December 16th, he would have been 28 this year (he died at 23). My heart breaks for all of us. It is so unfair.
The first year and some still some days now, I sleep with an old pair of Zach's short. It helps me to be able to hug something of his close to me. My husband and I didn't even attempt to go through his things for a long time. His truck stayed in our driveway for three years, it didn't even run but we just couldn't part with it. There is no right way or wrong way to this thing called grief, you just do the best you can one second at a time. Some seconds are better than others.
Connie thank you so much for sharing your song, its beautiful!
Hugs and prayers to all.
We have changed very little in the inside of my son's house which we still have. It is like going back 3 years in time stepping inside.
Connie, I too had a rubber wristlet from my son. It was odd though since he would never had worn such an item. I found 2 of them in his college folder both new and never worn. They both say "Strength" and were in light blue and white -- colors of heaven. I still wear the one and understand that connection.
