What encouraging words, Donna! The pain that we suffer is incredible and the "first" holidays, birthdays and events are so sad....I don't like the "seconds" either. Thanksgiving, will be 2 years and sometimes it seems like he never existed and then days like today I had to play mind games with myself and convince myself that Jim was just away....that's how I got through my moment today....I'll see him again, so for now, he is away and I'll just keep going! I hope that he won't hold it against me for moving onward and upward....but then again, he is likely in a better place than I am so hopefully he is smiling down on all of us saying "you guys need to get a grip" LOL. Hugs to this entire board!
