The first year i did not await the dreaded anniversary in grief I started to heal.It is a ritual I clung to.As if I by revisiting the week of death then funeral I was nearer to my lost one.
It was a necessary time and part of my relationship with my family and myself.
I embrace days with joy of living (but a part of me could remain sad..i work on it)
