A pastor at a friend's funeral said it's like being inside a pinball machine because you get bounced from place to place, up, down and around, never knowing where you're going next. I was taking a college course a little while ago and one of the exercises was patient charting. One of the fictitious patients had had a surgery on Nov. 14, 2004 - my brother's date of death 11 years ago. My breath caught and tears filled my eyes. You never know when or where you're going to get bounced. Be gentle with yourselves and each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391621506207953335.post-43348458479898355032015-09-27T10:26:41.658-06:002015-09-27T10:26:41.658-06:00You really tugged at my heart when I read that Dom...You really tugged at my heart when I read that Dom's urn is in his crib. That is beautiful. You get to grieve on your own time - there are no "rules". The numbness protects you and will eventually fade. Both of you have had to be strong for a long time and it might take a while for those walls of protection to come down. It's all OK. I've mentioned this to you before, and I'll say it again because it is still so very true for me. I can't say I am "better" 4 years after Callum passed away. I can say I am OK, getting through life without him is not as sad as it used to be, I am happy with my life, have fun and do my best every day. I can't say that just because time has passed I am now "better" without him. You created many loving memories and Dom has changed the world.

...You are all famous for so many different reasons.<br />I'm so grateful you continue to post and let us know how you are coping.<br />Your story continues to teach me.<br />Thank you for so many life lessons.<br />I think of Dom daily.<br />I put his gold and orange ribbon on my camera… after my own kids it is my most prized possession. Every time I do a photo shoot or take photos.. which is every day, many times a day, I carry Dom close to my heart.<br />Thank you for the update.<br />I've been wondering how you both are.<br /><br />Hugs… Sandra<br />P.S.

I think it is pretty neat that Trish took the time while she is still grieving, to donate blood. <br />It was sad to read about Dominic's urn being in his crib. My heart would just break going in his room.
