She had enough that quilts could be made for you and each of her brothers. I'd gladly volunteer, or if you'd rather not go with some stranger in the computer, there are people who do such as their business.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911970826999715305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448355842093887606.post-9897836193780376932015-01-17T23:27:05.977-08:002015-01-17T23:27:05.977-08:00I read somewhere that the now-cliched stages of gr...I read somewhere that the now-cliched stages of grief are inadequate and can actually do a disservice to the profound impact of real grief. From what you write here, from the strength that you've shown -- always -- in your life with Maggie - I just have to believe that you are feeling and doing all the things necessary not to get over your loss but to live with your loss.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448355842093887606.post-34373946107696353622015-01-17T12:34:15.979-08:002015-01-17T12:34:15.979-08:00The grief therapy group I attended spent a lot of ...The grief therapy group I attended spent a lot of time talking about the stages of grief, and how they're frankly a silly model. It was helpful for me to hear that I didn't "have" to follow them, and I'm still jumping around the stages several years later. One of the therapists gave me a poem (here: http://www.members.tripod.com/~JustADream/pastan/15p.htm) that I really liked and reflect on often.

I loved her so much and tend to think that I am very much like her partly because of genetics and partly because of the love I had/have for her and my desire to be like her. I will not say that my loss is to be compared to yours because it is not I acknowledge the huge difference between grandparent and child but the similarity is this, my great love for her. I woke up the other morning with such a pain in my heart for her I had to hold back tears and I thought of you, honestly I did. I do not know how one goes through the pain of losing a child when the pain I still feel is so strong. I am sorry Sally. My thoughts continue to be with you, KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
