Today is May 1st (my birthday) and it is the first time I do not
have you here. I miss you so much! It's really hard especially today
because 6 months ago we were putting you to rest.
I know you are not suffering anymore and you are with your grand
daughter (Dora) and Allen as well as the rest of our family celebrating
the joy of being with our savior.
You raised 9 kids without complaining. We love you and we are
all taking care of dad. I know you are wishing me a happy birthday
from above. Thank you mom.
I love and miss you so much!

Hello Alma,
Happy birthday to you! The sharp focus grief puts on events
such as a birthday reminds us of what we value and what we now must
learn to live with. Take comfort in the fact that Mom is not suffering
anymore; but rather celebrating in the company of her Savior. And
yes, she is wishing you not only a happy birthday, but all days
until you meet again.
My best and Godspeed Your Grief Journey,
Patrick Dean, MEd, Director
