Thoughts and feelings

Todd felt good at Bethanne's wedding in April, we had a wonderful day. He tried to always be upbeat and happy...he was such a great guy!

I started back to work today after my clearance was reinstated from my time off. It feels good to be back working but it will take some time to get back in the groove.

Tonight I had an appointment with my financial advisors, Russ and Mark Bicker. They thought I might want to watch and critique a DVD they rec'd in the mail; a Sesame Street production entitled when families grieve. I just finished watching the cute Elmo, his friends and family talk/sing about missing a loved one. It is actually a very informative program geared toward children who have lost a loved one. But I love kids and I loved the DVD and the songs. It was good to watch. I liked the song they sang....

Give your heart a little time

I know you miss your [dad]
Believe me, we all do
But sharing the memories will
Help us through

Cause our hearts will just grow fonder
By rememberin'
And your love will always find
New heights to climb

When someone you love is gone
You are always gonna find
That you need to give your
Heart a little time

I am feelin' sad, what should I do?
It helps to talk about your feelings
And when the time is right
A little glimmer of hope shines through

That's when you're gonna feel
The hurts start healing
Cause families will just grow closer
When they're needed

And friends are here to help
You ease your mind.
When someone you love is gone
You are always gonna find

That you need to give your heart a little time
I miss him so but now I know
That I need to give my heart a little time
We need to give our hearts a little time.


Yes, we need to give our hearts a little time!
Todd, you will always be in our hearts!

The key words in GRIEVING are:

talk.......... remember

listen.......... cry

hope.......... connect

laugh.......... change
