Giving Thanks today... It is not easy it maybe the hardest thing you have done this month/year, but it can be done. Do it in small steps and remember to be thankful you had your love one you lost in your life at all. Remember the small things are big right now. Treasure your memories you have, like they are gold. Think about them remember them,  I even encourage you to bring your love one around today by talking about them. 

 

 

If you are hurting share that love and hurt for others to hear.  Most people want to talk about your love one, but never want to bring it up in fear it will cause you pain. But as we know we are always in pain every single day every single second over our loss. I think it is great to share that with family and friends that this is an everyday pain, but holidays make it harder to remember you need to be celebrating and not grieving.  It actually makes me want to grieve more when holidays come around because they do remind me that I am missing my son. I am missing a member of my family to celebrate with today. I can't say it any glamorous that this way "it sucks" and nothing could be worse than losing a child. I know this pain never goes away, you just learn to live with it. You are a sadder version of yourself before your loss and this is the plain and honest truth of it. I will never truly be that happy go lucky gal I once was I am a mother who lost my son, it breaks my heart every single day.  I wish you the best today, I know it is a hard one. You and I will put on our happy faces and we will be happy for our beautiful memories.

 

 

It's really is about love today it's about the gifts of yesterday, blended with the blessings of today to make meaning for tomorrow.

 

Have a blessed Thanksgiving and love one another by remember your love one today
