The firsts are so hard, sometimes unexpectedly and shockingly so, and sometimes all we can do is try to make it through each one the best way we can. I wish you peace in your grief process (I hate the term "journey" - it makes me want to yell "If this is a trip of sorts, I want my money back!"). Tomorrow marks the two year point for me and my family, and I have to say it hasn't gotten easier, although the grief feels different from how it felt at first and a year ago. Thanks for reading and thank you for the heartfelt comment.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047171527060416751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22179016025322738.post-16556117561109334162013-01-04T09:11:41.195-06:002013-01-04T09:11:41.195-06:00Thanks so much for sharing your story.

My beloved mother died from brain cancer, which was missed by the doctors, and by the time it was diagnosed it was too late to treat her. It is a year since she died and I have done all the firsts and I still feel her loss as acutely and grieve for her everyday.

I completely relate to your moments , particularly the grandchild milestones. The one that hit me was the relalization that there were memories that only my mom and I shared. And knowing that there was no other link was momentarily blinding. <br />Thanks for sharing your journey. Continue to write - than print and bind so that your grandchildren will know the love runs deep in their family. <br />Love you ! Kelly B.Kelly Bnoreply@blogger.com
