I’ve found that if I prepare something special to do in the weeks before my child’s anniversary of his death, I manage to get through the day better. Over the years we have tried a few ideas. Helium balloons with messages texta’d on them. Having a picnic at our child’s grave. Lighting a candle on the table for the evening meal. Putting flowers in a vase. Having a cuppa with a friend who doesn’t mind if you talk or cry. I’d love to hear other people’s ideas on how they get through a hard day.
