I'm so identifying with what you wrote: "Not only was I grieving my youngest son, I was grieving the loss of a beautiful, peaceful and content life with my family."

I know that's what she'd want.<br /><br />I've talked with moms years ahead of me in this journey, specifically a blog friend who is 12 yrs out and my aunt who is 19 yrs. Their words have helped. I know it won't go away and there will still be hard moments that come along but they've given me hope that I'll be ok.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497597673130157461.post-54871378507074010492009-11-29T09:05:44.512-05:002009-11-29T09:05:44.512-05:00beautiful.. so many have said it already, but i ha...beautiful.. so many have said it already, but i had to say it too. so beautiful.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007474885671559328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497597673130157461.post-25981051295536849702009-11-26T16:27:23.813-05:002009-11-26T16:27:23.813-05:00Beautiful post, honey, and one to which I relate v...Beautiful post, honey, and one to which I relate very much.

I find it hard to accept that our family members have also suffered a loss because they don't often show it. It's hard to believe sometimes that Calvin's loss affects more than just Shane and I. Sometimes though, I'll catch a glimpse of someone else in the family's grief for my son and although it's not as strong or profound as my own grief, it's a reminder that they too have lost a wonderful gift. I think that it will eventually fall to the parents to make our children's lives are remembered, no one else feels the void as much as we do. Sad but true. I know that as long as I live, Calvin will be very much a part of our family whether he's in heaven or not, just as Nicholas will always be part of yours. And too bad if it makes other people uncomfortable. They should try walking in our shoes as far as being uncomfortable goes....Hugging youmargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494588299838654564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497597673130157461.post-78617131056657772452009-11-25T13:22:10.318-05:002009-11-25T13:22:10.318-05:00And you do such a beautiful job of keeping Nichola...And you do such a beautiful job of keeping Nicholas' memory alive. <br /><br />I love what Michelle wrote. It is so true. I however feel like I pretty much avoid all of those normal things one does in everyday life. I don't really socialize with anyone anymore, and I can't deal with conflict. I go to work 2 days a week with my happy face on. The other five days I'm sitting on the couch in my pjs. I guess I'll have to get back to reality someday, but not just yet.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894396436704042272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497597673130157461.post-9653700530774625692009-11-25T12:32:31.343-05:002009-11-25T12:32:31.343-05:00Oh Lea, what a beautiful post.
