Often, when we are faced with grief or change, our instinct is to hold on to the familiar. However, grief and change require us to do things differently. When we accept that we can't stop time, it frees us to move forward.
Dread prefaces special occasions and holidays. Changing the expected celebrations allows us to acknowledge our missing, and create new ways of coping and moving forward.
My birthday came far too close to Edgar's death to anticipate celebration. However, fabulous family and friends created special new memories to create joy and allow me to move forward.
