Life After Loss

Its been a while since I’ve done a blog, life got busy, life got difficult, life got hard.

But that’s the way life is after such a significant loss.  We got though all our firsts, 1st Christmas without James, what should have been his second birthday, anniversary of his passing then the anniversary of his funeral.

The first year came and went, people started to move on, you think those would be the worst times to get over, but no, your strong and prepared for the firsts, everyone works hard to support you, you work hard to get through the day.

But tomorrow will be 16 months since James never woke up, he was 16 months and 10 days old on that day.  So very soon we will hit another anniversary, the one where James has been gone longer than he was with us.  It’s these anniversaries that hurt more.

So now, we keep living, keep remembering, but it’s a different type of life now.  We don’t want sympathy, that’s not what this blog is about.  It’s asking for understanding, some days we will be sad, you will see no reason for it, but that’s how life is now.
