Project Grief

I received an email today from a member of our SUDC parent group. I haven't opened up the emails from them lately because, truthfully, sometimes all of their sadness even becomes exhausting. Even though I can connect with them the most because they have had the EXACT same thing happen to them with their child; sometimes reading those emails just emotionally drains me more. For some reason, today, I decided I needed to read this one email from a mother in the group. She sent this link thinking it may be of some interest to us:


I quickly read over the post and realized it would be great for me to do this for my emotional need. The second year of special days have been a billion times harder on me than the first year. I find myself more emotionally drained than I did last year and some days it has taken everything in me to not burst into tears when simply talking to someone about every day things. It feels like all of the shock has completely worn off and the reality of my hell has finally sunk all the way in. I find myself searching for that  third child more often rather than less often. Everything seems more raw than it did even the weeks follow Corby's passing.  So long story short this next month I will be participating in this project to hopefully help me to continue with my head up in my grief journey especially since we are quickly approaching Corby's second angelversary. Please join along with me if you would like.
