I'm still speechless after 3 readings, but want to acknowledge that Christina's message offers a wealth of positive perspective on such a tragic event. Parts of it made me cry real tears I still have not allowed to flow since the death of my daughter's son. I phrase my grandson in that way to emphasize that it's a cruel twist of the dagger to grieve your child's loss of her only child. In spite of all our life challenges, we were like 3 generational musketeers, always working to keep one another uplifted in the face of the rest of the world's judgement. Thanks to you, Christina I have a new light in which to look at my own grief and I'm looking forward to a whole new emotional journey.
Love, love, love this! This is exactly how I feel. I do still miss my husband, sometimes keenly, with aching heart and still-bitter tears, but my gratitude increases each day, for all that we had and for all the many gifts he gave me, especially the life I have now, in his absence. He is still present, in so many ways.
Kristi, thank you so much for sharing my story on grief notes. I truly appreciate your mentorship and hope this pieces resonates with your readers. Much love and gratitude.
Beautifully written! It took me almost 10 years to get to this point. Grief…it changes but until you look at it differently you are always just stuck in it. So thankful for my son and the 2 1/2 years I was able to love him and be his mom and for him even in death to be able show me (many years later) how to live. ❤️

As always, Mom, you have such a way with words and getting your message across.
Indeed we were the 3 musketeers. I miss our third wheel tremendously but am grateful for every journey we all took together.

I felt the same way the first time (and every time) I read it and was honored to publish it here. I'm glad you liked it ❤️
