This week at GriefShare we were discussing how most people are afraid to talk about your child, spouse or other loved one who has died. It is such an uncomfortable subject for so many people, and I’ve even heard several times that people are afraid to mention Hannah because they don’t want to upset me, make me sad, or even make themselves sad. I ran across this quote from Elizabeth Edwards, who lost a son, and thought it was so appropriate to share with everyone.
‘If you know someone who has lost a child or lost anybody who’s important to them, and you’re afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn’t forget they died. You’re not reminding them. What you’re reminding them of is that you remember that they lived, and that’s a great, great gift.’
We miss our precious Hannah, we talk about her all the time, and we can not wait for the day we will see her again! Jesus is alive and thanks to him, so is Hannah.
