Letting go

Julie726 · 08-04-2010, 01:30 PM

Every day I find myself crying a little less.
I'm starting to get used to talking to imaginary Sam on his favorite chair,
instead of crying because he's not there.

Part of me does not want to let go of the pain of this loss
Part of me feels guilty when I don't cry
I'm afraid I won't remember
how he felt on my hand when I petted him
how he felt in my arms when I snuggled with him
if I ever run out of tears for him...

Dear Julie,

You might cry less, but you will always remember Sam and the way he felt in your arms. Those things stay with you for a lifetime when the love is unconditional as Sam's love was for you.

If you are starting to heal that is a very good thing. Grief takes time and each of us grieves in a different way and for a different period of time before we can take the "next step" into LIFE!

God Bless You my friend. Sam will always be with you.

Blessings,
Joanne & Shadow
