I understand the loss of your son. As for the distance your daughter-in-law may be showing, it is probably a subconscious reaction that she has no idea she is doing. Those children are the only part of her husband she has and she is holding close to them and probably feels like not sharing them with anyone else. Remember - this is not on purpose. You speak of having close relationships with them. Maybe you could speak softly and gently with her about this and work out sometime that you and she could spend together with the children. Just a suggestion - but when I saw it tried, it worked. Laura

More than any one person should ever have to live through or ever could live through without the Lord! My son also died in June. Jon was 37. I too have been anxious about the holidays. If I had it my way, if I had to do anything special, I'd make at least the first Christmas a special memorial to Jon. I got a brochure yesterday from World Vision and I'm seriously considering sending a goat or chickens or ducks, something to underprividged people in his name. I have a 2 1/2yr old granddaughter so I know we will have to do something but I'm definately NOT looking forward to it. I'll be praying for you and your family. If you go to my page, you'll see my email. Please feel free to write and tell me all about him and your family. I'll be praying for safety and especially for your daughter-in-law and the baby. I have a feeling that you would really be able to relate to a poem I wrote and posted on my page, maybe both of them. Blessings and Hugs to you. In His Love, Kathy
