I'm not sure if you're referring to me or not, but I know I said something to you yesterday about how strong you're being just a few weeks after Aidan passed away. I want you to know I said that with the best of intentions. There is absolutely no time table for grief, and no "right" way of handling it. I was simply trying to say that I'm proud of you for not giving in to the grief and letting your life completely shut down. I was aching to have fun and laugh after Olivia passed away, but I had some complications from my c-section and was stuck on the couch for the following weeks with way too much time to dwell on what happened. I think its wonderful that you are able to focus on the happy times that you had with Aidan rather than just dwelling on the fact that he's not here. I think you are an amazing woman and I was just trying to give you a compliment :)Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664480324762808589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652276937688873588.post-57715847688979259962010-03-01T18:22:49.194-05:002010-03-01T18:22:49.194-05:00Maggie, you grieve the way that you want.

No one doubts that you don't miss Aidan anymore or that you love him any less.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205937044195502196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652276937688873588.post-88240575954457115882010-03-01T11:45:40.899-05:002010-03-01T11:45:40.899-05:00Maggie there have been a LOT of folks praying for ...Maggie there have been a LOT of folks praying for you that Gods love will give you comfort...I just think that the times you are able to smile God is GIVING you that comfort...Of course you are still grieving and always will but each person is different.

You will ALWAYS grieve him, even when you are having good days it's not that you have forgotten him, it's that he's giving you strength to get through the days. don't let anyone tell you that you are too happy already or anything like that. You are in my prayers still!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026989538360928035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652276937688873588.post-3638267349229532502010-03-01T07:51:50.939-05:002010-03-01T07:51:50.939-05:00There is no right way to grieve.

I'm glad that you're able to get out and laugh with your friends. I'm sure you will still have hard days, or weeks, but I'm really glad that you're the kind of person who can enjoy the good things out there too. I know that probably didn't come out right, but I am so not that kind of person and I really admire people like you :) Having a good time and getting out and doing things and laughing doesn't mean that you love Aidan any less, or that you're starting to forget him or anything like that. You will NEVER love him less and you will NEVER forget him. You will always be his Momma and he would want you to be happy.Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850610891208559801noreply@blogger.com
