My Grief... My Own Way ... by Dawn Saul
My son, Jimmy died two years ago. (July 28th is his 'ANGELversary'). As his Mother I miss him more deeply than words can ever express. As the dates for his birthday and his passing have approached... I find myself reliving moments of his life over and over again like a movie. I have been both physically and emotionally drained, yet I have also found a calmness. My faith in knowing my son, Jimmy is joyously blissful and that we shall meet again in heavens sky... This belief sustains me!
I grieve in my own way. I will not allow Jimmy's death to define me. I allow my heart and soul to lead the way and I EXPRESS my grief in any way that I see fit. I will no longer allow others to tell me what is an appropriate way or time to mourn. The process of mourning is part of my healing. Only I know what is best for me.
