Looking at pictures

Monday, January 26th, 2009

frameIt happens every time, and anyone who has lost a loved one can relate to this. Pictures of your brother or sister, hang them or do not hang them? Every time I see a picture of my brother, it is like daggers in my heart, lumps in my throat and a blow to my gut. However, if I do not hang pictures of my brother, then he will not seem as alive, my children will not ask questions about him and I would not be reminded of my “new” life, my new “normal”.  This normal that I need to continue to live to honor him. I hate that these thoughts and feelings that are part of my new world and part of my new soul.
