    So very compassionate. Many post-abortive women suffer from this sadness, and some of your suggestions will help bring healing.

    The anniversary of the death of my son is 2-1-2008. The month of January is so hard, when everyone else is celebrating the New Year- I begin the countdown to the worst day of my life.

    I lost my grandma on December 11, 2001. The 10 year anniversary is hitting me harder than I thought it would.

    I lost my son on Dec. 7, 2010. The anniversary day for 1 year is approaching soon. I am going to take off from work and honor this day for him for the rest of my life but I would like to do something with family and friends to keep his memories alive. I had 2 children my son was my first born. Looking for ways to honor him for the rest of my life.

    I can understand completely what you are going through. I lost my son on Jan. 2, of this year and am feeling the anxiety of the holidays approaching and then the one year anniversary of his death. I have 3 other children, he was my oldest son, he was 22 when he passed away, and my family like you will always take the day off from work and do what we can to honor him and keep his memory alive. I pray that you will have comfort and peace on Dec. 7th and can enjoy a time of remembering the love and joy you had with your son.
