My "normal" life came to an end on August 25, 2009 when I lost my precious grandson to SIDS. I feel that as a grandparent people do not understand that we grieve not only for ourselves but for our child as well. How do we help our child and grieve for ourselves as well. I find myseld being strong for my daughter when inside I am broken. I appreciate anyone who has been through a similiar circumstance that can offer any encouragement. I feel as grandparents we are not allowed to grieve....

It was good to hear from you...how are you all doing? We are trying to hang on. Addison will have been 1 on the 16th of this month, the day after our oldest grand daughters birthday. Last year we thought it was a great blessing for them to be able to have birthdays so close but this year we find ourselves wishing things were a little different. What a difference a year makes. For some reason, it just hit me a few days before Thanksgiving that she had died on the 25th and that meant that she would be gone 8 months on Thanksgiving day and 9 on Christmas day....this whole month has been hard, it just feels like the world is closing in on us. Like we're going through the first weeks all over again. It just doesn't seem to get any easier! I have been wondering how everyone was but I haven't been on here much myself. Trying to keep busy and away from the house as much as I can. Please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, especially during this holiday season..thank you for taking time to write and check on us
I am so sorry for your loss....will be praying for you. Please write if you want to talk....
