Finishing Jason's birthday blog/ Anticipatory Grief

Yesterday for Jason's birthday we went to the cemetery. We usually go every year on Mariahnna's birthday to release balloons. Her birthday is on Friday but Jason will be out of town. Jason told me once that when she was born he thought they would always celebrate their birthday's together. Mariahnna never made it to her first birthday. But maybe, in a very small way, releasing balloons on Jason's birthday was a way to share, just for this year :-) I feel so sad for my husband that he's going to have to do this again. It's extremely sad and depressing. There are beautiful moments too, like yesterday :-)







An article was posted to my global support group recently about anticipatory grief. I can tell you from experience that it's very real.
