[quote=Anonymous]Time helps. Keeping them "alive" in my memory helps, by observing traditions that were important to them or talking about them openly. For example, it makes me happy when my daughter asks for "grandma's pancakes," even though she never met her grandma, she knows that the recipe is one that I grew up with. Or when we make the same holiday cookies that I ate as a kid, or camp at the same place I camped with my folks as a kid. And sometimes, it helps to allow myself to hurt - to have a good cry, to miss them, and then to somehow move on into all the wonderful reasons I have to be happy to be alive. Sorry for your pain and your loss. [/quote]
