The instances in which our loved one was completely being themselves- doesn't have to be anything remarkable to anyone else, but to us those memories resonate because we can hold on to a piece of what we have lost through them. <BR/><BR/>Since we lost Hannah the strangest things will jog my memories of her. And I love to look at all the pictures I have of her on my computer and surprisingly I have lots because we are a close family and I was able to see my sister's family often before we moved. I love all the pictures that no one else would expect- the ones that are not perfect but just shine with her little personality. <BR/><BR/>The memories can hurt a lot in the beginning but I do believe that over time they are what save those of us who are left behind. Seeing that place at the bar surely stung for you but someday I'll bet you will go in, sit down and order his favorite beer and enjoy the whole experience. Maybe you will even get up on that bull and ride it yourself all the while imagining him cheering you on and laughing! <BR/><BR/>BTW, I still talk to my father and I talk to Hannah pretty often too. Sometimes I do it when I am not even realizing it. It is totally normal and I think therapeutic. <BR/><BR/>Peace to you.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264059472790843992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-7887290723891797082007-09-30T14:50:00.000-05:002007-09-30T14:50:00.000-05:00Dear MrsGrumpy,I visited your blog after reading a...Dear MrsGrumpy,<BR/>I visited your blog after reading a comment from you on Rach's blog. <BR/>I am so sorry you lost your husband.

Out loud, silently. Don't worry about that, it's pretty normal, and although painful, also therapeutic. I think they do hear us, too. <BR/><BR/>Latch on to whatever helps. And find something to do on weekends when you feel you are ready... a club, volunteer work, whatever (without interfering with time with kids.) You have to fill those hours, and believe me, it does help. Little by little. Have a good cry in between, but try to get out a bit when you are ready. <BR/>Sending you virtual hugs ((( )))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-65417370363572842622007-09-30T13:36:00.000-05:002007-09-30T13:36:00.000-05:00Isn't it amazing that in our grief we are still ab...Isn't it amazing that in our grief we are still able to feel such sympathy for each other. Just when you think your heart is shattered and will never feel anything other than emptiness and pain again, you find your heart hurting for someone going through the same thing. <BR/><BR/>I'm so happy you got out of the house for a little while, even if it did have a sad ending. I LOVE that bull riding story. :o) <BR/><BR/>And, just so you know, I talk to Hannah all the time too. I'm still waiting to hear her voice...Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.com
