1st year

Hitting the year mark on Monday. Nearly A whole year has gone by, I don’t know how we made it here!! I feel like the last year is one big haze. But we still standing. I don’t know if we should mark the day or ignore it as best we can (3 kids to consider 22,20 and 12)

Im not yet at 3 months and my children are grown. How do you mean mark it? Have some sort of memorial for him. Depends on the children. But i think a little memorial with the children might be a good thing. Maybe get them talking about their dad. It might make them feel that its OK for them to miss him. That he is still important to you all. You must do what your hart tells you to do. But i just thought i would offer my thoughts.

It’s almost a year for me too I think I have just got by in a daze for 12 months.I’m worried about the actual day it was very traumatic,I don’t have any kids so at the moment I feel like I won’t want to speak to anyone or see anyone but who knows it’s such a rollercoaster.You just go with your gut when the day arrives I’m going to just see how I will feel on the day dreading it now though.
