I have never written before - I had no reason to. But now it is all I want to do. I find peace and comfort in putting my thoughts and feeling into words. There are so many feelings that grief brings you, and they are were all stuck in my head for months, until I started to take them out of my head and put them into written words. I am able to tell a story, share an emotion, share a feeling, express my frustration – anything I need to or want to do. But most of all it helps me to keep moving one foot in front of the other and keep moving from one day to the other. More important though, I know my site is helping others do the same. I get daily emails and phone calls from people who are reading what I write. I receive comments from both friends, and those who I have never met. They tell me how I am able to put into words what they have stuck in their heads. How they can relate to what I am writing and how my entries help them to keep moving and to keep healing. That is what keeps me going on. I write with my son in mind all the time – although not every entry is about him, he is the motivation that keeps me writing. Sometimes I write about grief. Sometimes I write about how we see others, or how they react to “us”. Some entries are shorter, while others seem to never find an end. But every one ends with thinking of how my son would read what I wrote, and if he was old enough and mature enough to truly appreciate it. Will I write for another year, or two years, or for the rest of my life? Who knows. But for now, I have a lot to say, I have so much to cover, and so much more to heal – and hopefully help others in the process.

What makes this book unique is that it has many facets. We don’t tell you how you should feel, or the stages you are going to go through, as everyone is different. We also don’t tell you all about my son Andrew, although there are a lot of stories in the book about him.
What we do do is to talk about what you may hear, or see, or partake in. Chapters such as what other people say to us, and how to deal with it rationally, about foundations, that many grieved parents set up, about the first holidays. Lots of what we felt, but also what we have heard in the many bereavement group meetings we attended. So, it is not a quick fix book, but more of a what you may experience, what you can expect, and the hope of “getting better” and “moving on with your life” even when that sounds ridiculous or you feel you can never move on.
We have received numerous positive emails about how this book and the stories have helped so many, many from clergy, parents, LCSW’s, and more.
This is a great first step in starting to read and learn about grief, especially your personal grief. There is hope, there is getting your life again, and yet never forgetting or letting go of your lost loved one.
