Cry dayzee...all you need to, for as long as you need to, as often as you need to, grieve...grieve your great loss, but also celebrate that he is no longer in the turmoil that he felt, and that he is at peace, and watching over you now. those are my thoughts. (((hugs)))

you know I pondered that question. it has only been just over a year. no one can tell you how to grieve or how long to grieve. I think at some point when you are ready you will celebrate his life. But now maybe too soon. I lost a granddaughter 9 yrs ago. I am just now getting to where I don't cry on her birthday or the anniversary of her death. My thoughts are with you.

grief is not dictated by opinion or culture. It is what is in our hearts. Speak about him to all who will listen, we will. Speak about anything that comes to mind. Look for places where you are coulda shoulda woulda okay. I think that was what stuck me in grieving for a very long time. When I was able to let that go the sadness is there but the burden lighter. goodluck.
