Harvey- how do you handle significant BAD anniversaries?

[Bobbins]

My dds, Harvey died on the25th March last year. I'm not sure how I am coping with it. I'm not sure if I should take that day off work or not. It might transpire that I am alone that day if I don't go into work. A strange coincidence has occured. My prescription of Prozac runs out on Monday, the day before the anniversary. My six months is up.

Harvey is buried miles away, due to the lack of woodland burial sites in this country. I'm planning to go down there to his grave (and my mothers-they are buried next to eachother) on my birthday, the day before Harvey was buried.It's a difficult time and I'm not sure how to handle it. Is it just another day toget through, or should it be significant and marked in some way? How do other people deal with these days?

Bobbins - Pancakes can be eaten any time they make you feel better. I hope they worked.

Hi Bobbins - I'm glad you survived yesterday. I hope the years to come will be easier. I agree with the person who said that these things creep up on you at the most unexpected times though, not necessarily on significant dates. I took the day off work on my significant bad anniversary, and didn't really do anything, but then I was crying my eyes out at these posts yesterday. I guess it's only natural (and good) that our children are so close to the surface of our thoughts. Love Rxxx (Right, going off to compose a cheerful post).
