Jennifer posted a blog post6 Years- Still So Hard
Well last month was the 6 year passing anniversary of my brother Mike. I've learned a lot about grief on this journey. I do know for sure that time really has not made any of this any better. It may have been 6 years, but the pain on some days is so Raw and so real it still takes me a minute to ground myself and be okay. I quoted on Feb 10/2018 "that my love for you lives in my grief for you" I think is true for me. Overall I am still so grateful for having mike in my life for 32 years. I…See More
Jennifer posted a blog postComing up 5 years
Well next month it will be 5 years since my brother passed away from alcoholism at 32 years old. It feels crazy that amount time has passed... I think I may have been living in a bubble the first 2 or 3 years just managing daily life and trying to get through. Other people share that it gets easier ..... I cant say I agree. Although I moved on with life and have a great life, it has not remotely made a difference in the amount of pain I feel, or the fact that he inst coming back. It feels…See More

Jennifer posted a blog postTime sort of flies
Well been almost 22 months and I don't feel like much has changed in my way of grief. My parents are still crippled and i find it really hard to get near acceptance. I guess we don't get over death. With xmas here soon It breaks my heart. I'm not sure i will ever enjoy xmas the same for many years to come. I know that my brother would want me to live life to the max and move on. Im gonna do my best to do that one day at a timeSee More

JoAnne Adams said… - DEAR JENNIFER
SO SORRY TO HEAR OF UR BROTHER'S PASSING & UR DIFFICULTY IN COPING. I TOO HAVE LOST SEVERAL LOVED ONES IN MY LIFE MOST RECENTLY MY SISTER. AFTER MY MOM AND DAD PASSED, I DIDN'T THINK I COULD GO ON. BUT WITK GOD'S GRACE & THE PASSAGE OF TIME U CAN ACTUALLY BEGIN TO RETURN TO A SEMBLANCE OF UR FORMER LIFE. NO IT WON'T EVER GO AWAY BUT IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T NAG AT U EVERYDAY. UR BROTHER'S SWEET SOUL MUST B IN HEAVEN & WHOEVER PERPATRATED CRIMES AGAINST HIM AS A CHILD WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE ALMIGHTY ONE DAY. MAY U & UR FLY BEGIN UR HEALING PROCESS AND SUFFER NO LONGER. BLESS U ALL.
SINCERELY
