Day 11: Grief, Different?

Day 11: It is said that Father's and Mother's grieve differently. Do you feel this is true with your angel's father?

Yes, I believe that Demetrius and I have grieved differently for sure. I cried everyday for six weeks and Demetrius didn't. I wanted to talk about it to everyone and Demetrius didn't. I know that grief hits everyone differently and it is no exception for us. I don't think that there is a "right way" to grieve so how we are both handling it-isn't wrong. One thing for sure that we both agreed on doing was going to talk to a professional bereavement counselor. It has been beneficial so far and I believe that it can only get better. Not only is it helping us get through this difficult time but she is helping us bring out things that we didn't even know were there. I am extremely grateful for all of the other women who have lost a child reaching out and telling their stories. If it weren't for them then I would have never even considered going to speak to someone, but I am really glad that we are.
