Yesterday, I ordered an age progressed photo of Kitty. This is the third year I have done this. Her first birthday was just three months after the accident, so I knew what she looked like and - even though I know she would have grown and changed in three months - I could still picture how she looked. But by the time Kitty's second birthday approached, I was really curious. Would she look like her big sister? Or more like her mom? A need was rumbling inside me and it was something I just had to do.

 It's time to start our list of 'resources'. When we think of the word 'resource', it conjures up ideas of books we can read and support groups we can join ... very important places to go for inspiration, sharing, support and helpful ideas. But, for me, there have been a few unconventional resources, too. I am going to start our list with one of them.
I know that I am not the only grieving grandparent in the world. There are LOTS of us. Maybe I am strange, but I do glance through the obituaries a few times a week and there is usually someone listed who is young enough to leave behind grandparents. So, why aren't there more resources for us?
Maybe we have to create them. After all, we are the experts on what it's like to lose your child's child and everything it involves. |
