Twelve years later after losing my son and I still find the week or two leading up to his date of death to be worse than the actual date itself. Our nervous systems just know! Sending love your way as you move through this extra griefy period of time. 💛

Thank you for taking the time to comment - and you're right, the lead up/anticipation is not a nice time.

I particularly appreciate the line “because the people who loved you more than any others are always there”. Which is why we remember them, right?

Ed, or Mr Walker thank you for this, my parents died within 14 months of each other, my dad only in January this year, every week there seems to be some special day that we should have been celebrating. It is tremendously difficult and no matter how many people are around you, you feel so incredibly alone dealing with it all.
