It gests better, but it never goes away. first it feels like you can't breathe, and it is an effort to get through each minute, then it is five minutes, and so on. The process is slow, but it does happen.

First times are the worst - first Thanksgiving without her, first Christmas, etc. Then it is she would be doing this now, until you get to graduations, weddings of her childhood sweetheart, etc.

My husband put an electric candle in the window that never gets turned off. For anniversaries, I light a real candle and let it burn all day. I remember my child's favorite songs, and notice that they come on the radio to this day whenever I need a friend.

My boy was 11, and the tenth anniversary of his death is on the 14th. I have learned that I cannot work on those days. Everyone is different about this.

I joined an online group for parents. It got me through...but barely.

I send my love. You can email me and I will give you my phone number.

Oh, I should have gotten counseling for my other kids. they handled everything better than I did, but I could not be there for them, so I know in my heart that I should have.

Love,
mama

It is never easy and for me it hasn't gotten better, just different. I can finally get through most days without crying. Losing a child is the worst thing you will ever experience. I am sorry for your loss. Please know that if you ever need someone to talk too, there are many here who are willing to be a listening ear. I will keep you and your family lifted in prayer. I hope that you will continue to let us know how you are doing. Many {{{HUGS}}}
