The first...The first birthday for me was agonizing. The first anniversary was too, but in a different way for me. At his birthday, I was just so so sad for everything that was not. No chocolate cake, no party, no anything except a visit to the cemetery. At the 1st anniversary of his death, I was reliving that day every second. I had actually had a social worker tell me that "grieving lasts 1 year." Period. End of it. Yeah, that is totally not the case. Yesterday was Sullys 14th 11th in Heaven. Still makes my heart physically hurt. <br /><br />Thank you for writing what I have such a hard time expressing myself! I may be a little on the private side with how I handle Sully's days, but nothing will keep me from celebrating Jack's birthday with Laurie at the JOY launch!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05327574737954838250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956759861048877967.post-86139515594347806402012-03-12T14:06:30.731-07:002012-03-12T14:06:30.731-07:00I am wondering how this approaching first birthday...I am wondering how this approaching first birthday is gonna go. I am wondering if "people" will expect me to be "all better, all over, back to normal" after June 30, 2012 comes and goes.<br /><br />I do know this, I am a better, different servant of God now because of Jack Oliver Young, my sweet JOY boy.<br />I will never NOT weep for that boy. Matthew's day is so close to Jack's...<br />thank you for this post, Lori...you continue to give us hope here on earth.
