The grieving process has so many hurdles of "firsts" to get over: the first morning without her, the first dinner, the first birthday, the first Christmas, the first year... It goes on and on until finally a whole cycle has completed itself. That is the hardest part of the grieving process for me.
I wish you good memories of your mom on this day, Kevin. (I wasn't able to access the video. Maybe you can post it to the Ark?)
NJ..you're right, the "firsts" are so so hard to get through. I've had a knot in my stomach and tears in my eyes most of today. It's also exactly two months since she passed.
My brother and sister passed about 18 and 15 years ago. My dad passed about, I don't even know...like 5 years ago....I still think about them every day. I miss them.. but now I think more about the funny and good memories rather then how sad I am at losing them.
Although, I agree with Ruth, their birthdays and the death days are harder...
