For Thursday Meeting: Milestones: Preparing for and Handling Milestone Events
As bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings, we know there are many milestones we must face following the death of our child, grandchild, brother or sister. We all have to experience the "firsts" of the initial year after loss - first holiday, first birthday, first death anniversary date, etc. Let's talk about the comforting and creative ways to prepare for and handle milestone events. Plan to share things that you have learned that have made these times easier for you, or at least tolerable. Whether we like it or not, these milestones will come, and preparing for them can be a gift we give ourselves.
