Thanks for writing this . . . grief doesn't play by any rules. As we hosted our extended family last Saturday (more than 30 people), I had this wave of missing my sisters and dad who are no longer with us. We had so many new grandbabies there--including one who was the first great-great-grandchild of my parents and one of my deceased sister's first great grandchild! (How wild is that??) But I was just wishing that they were there, and perhaps they were.
I appreciated this so much. A year and a half after the loss of Jace, it has been an extremely difficult holiday season for my family (and especially my step daughter). Reading this was in some weird way a comfort. We are walking the path as so many before us have, and while we hugged tight our 12 living grandchildren, we also shed many tears for the one we would give anything to be able to hold.
Never experienced the loss of a child in death but my youngest son has quit talking to me and alienated by grandsons so yes its hard. I can go a few days without crying. Peace to you and happy new year!!
