On the 8th anniversary of my daughter's passing

 

 

"The reality is that we don't forget, move on, and have closure, but rather we honor, we remember, and incorporate our deceased children and siblings into our lives in a new way. In fact, keeping memories of your loved one alive in your mind and heart is an important part of your healing journey." ~ Harriet Schiff, author of The Bereaved Parent

 

 

Today I am sad and is perfectly normal...
Losing one you love is always sad, especially a child
But I will carry with me today all the good memories
of the time we spent together and they will comfort me.
I still have your little hand on a ...piece of paper, and all the little I love you notes you wrote me when you were younger; looking at them brings back sweet memories...
Anniversaries are supposed to be happy, not this one
but when a tear surfaces, I will say I love you, my angel;
I know you walk with me.... -Mom
