So...<i> a grasping, needy, undisciplined little person. Sound familiar? </i><br /><br />Yup, sometimes I think G's death sent me right back to toddler-hood. <br /><br />It's so difficult, sometimes I think people would rather I just shut up about it already or came out with some wise words about life and death and how everything works out in the end.

It just nails this experience. <br /><br />I also love the line about lowering expectations, and about forgiving yourself.

Yep, "neverending festival of suck" is right.<br />I too wonder if anyone else remembers the day she died (the day before she was born). I don't expect them to, but it has always been the shittier of the days for Simon and I to get through.
