January 21...Breath...
I wish I could just somehow skip the rest of this month. January 25, my brother's angelversarry then the 30th. Two of the worst days in my life. Two days that turned my world upside down. When Jerry was killed I didn't think I could feel worse. Boy was I wrong!

How does a mother get through the anniversary of her child's death? Not to sound like a broken record but our society forces us to separate ourselves from most everyone we know/knew if we are in mourning because "it"/"they" put constraints or time limits to what THEY believe is appropriate periods of mourning and if you are "over" your loved one's death by then, well then you are being "selfish" or you have issues. Of course none of these people have ever lost anyone close to them let alone a child but why should that make any difference?

I'm sorry. It just REALLY bothers me that people would try to impose their own personal time constraints on anyone who is suffering such great emotional loss. What gives them the right?
