Share Your Thoughts and Memories

"Although we know that after such a loss the acute state of mourning will subside, we also know we shall remain inconsolable and will never find a substitute.  No matter what may fill the gap, even if it be filled completely, it nevertheless remains something else.  And actually, this is how it should be.  It is the only way of perpetuating that love which we do not want to relinquish."  --Sigmund Freud in a letter to a man who lost his son.

Kristin was my cherished grandchild and a wonderful little girl. She was so full of life, so vibrant and bubbly; she reminded me so much of her mother, my daughter, at that age. She loved to help cook, loved her princesses and ponies, and, most of all, her mom and dad. I loved her so much, loved the way she greeted me when I came to see her, remember the time she helped bake a birthday cake for me. Oh God! How I'll miss her! My heart goes out to Chris, her father, and his family in this awful time of loss also.
