I made a movie of pictures of Janessa from her birth and all the ways we have remembered her for the past 5 years. I told my kids that if they felt like they didn't want to watch it that it was okay and I wouldn't be upset. My kids started sobbing during the movie and it was hard for me to see that they still hurt and grieve for their little sister Janessa as much as I do. Stupid death and grief has left such an open wound in our whole family.
After the movie we sat and talked for about an hour about all the things we remembered about March 9th and Janessa--that helped for us to bond together in our remembrance of Janessa.
Some times I wish grief was like the flu and you could just take some medicine and it would all go away, but, grief is an incurable disease that we have to learn to accept and learn how to live with and it is really hard. :`(
