IF YOU'VE EVER EXPERIENCED THE DEATH OF A FAMILY MEMBER, OR PERHAPS SOMEONE VERY CLOSE TO YOU THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND HOW DIFFICULT IT CAN BE TO IMAGINE HOW YOU'LL CARRY ON WITHOUT THEM. yOU ARE LEFT WONDERING HOW IN THE WORLD YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NORMALLY HAD THEM PRESENT. hOW WILL YOU HANDLE CELEBRATIONS THAT ARE NORMALLY JOYFUL?
HOLIDAYS, BIRTHDAY, AND ANNIVERSARIES CAN BE REALLY TOUGH. THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS ARE PARTICULARLY TOUGH BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH EMPHASIS WE PUT ON THESE CELEBRATIONS.
NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT, YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, NOR WILL YOUR HOLIDAYS. tHINGS ARE FOREVER CHANGED. TIME TRULY IS A GREAT HEALIER. I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE IT PROBABLY BRINGS LITTLE COMFORT WHEN YOU'RE FRESH IN YOUR GRIEF. bUT, i DO PROMISE IT DOES GET EASISER TO DEAL WITH IT AS TIME PASSES ON.
COMMENT FROM ME;
I CHOSE THIS ARTICLE BECAUSE IT DEFINITELY RELATES TO ME RIGHT NOW. MY BROTHER PASSED BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS. WE HAD NO HOLIDAY SPIRIT THIS YEAR AND DID NOT CELEBRATE. THE PAIN OF HIS SUDDEN DEATH WAS TO DIFFICULT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS. WE DID CELEBRATE US ALL COMING TOGETHER AND BEING TOGETHER FOR TWO WEEKS. I'M GOING BACK THERE NEXT WEEK TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH MOM AND DAD. MARCH THE 27TH IS MY DECEASED BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY AND HIS FRIENDS ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE THAT DAY IN HIS HONOR. I WILL BE THERE FOR A PART OF THAT. I WILL ALSO SEE MY OTHER BABY BROTHER, HIS CHILDREN, AND TWO GRANDCHILDREN THAT BRINGS US JOY.
