Tifanny has posted her memorial here if people would like to see the man that was most precious to her.
She reminds me that moving on is not forgetting, it is living forward not in the past. You will never lose the stories but you cannot bring him back. That is the acceptance
part. Once you can accept the reality, you can start living with him in your heart in a positive way. My dad used to tell me – don’t hold on to the things that you cannot change. That is true, as much as we want to change the fact someone has died we can’t. The future you can change so make sure that you cherish your life as you now know how precious life is….
I do like the idea of writing a letter to say goodbye. I am not sure if I can do that at this moment though. Josh’s birthday is on the 20th and I am going to need to get prepared for that. I do talk to him all the time though, I go out to the lake and watch the waves come in. I have a lot of support here and I know that with time I will be able to acknowledge Josh’s death and move forward with my life.
