Members Khyris_Mommy Posted January 24, 2015 Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Today is three months since the funeral. And I'm thinking alot about her birthday, and dreading it. Her birthday is March 14...she would be two...and I dont know what to do...even though she's not here, it's still the day she was born, it's a monumental day in all of our lives, but I don't know if i will be able to celebrate...I had planned on making her Minnie Mouse cake exactly as if she were here, taking balloons to her, taking cupcakes to the ER and police department, and wrapping a gift and letting my 4 year old open it...but the more I think about it the less I feel like I can do it...I know from the holidays and stuff that the anticipation is the worst part, and I know that I will kick myself forever if I don't do SOMETHING...but....what?

Members Jesse David & Taylor Mom Posted January 26, 2015 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The first birthday is one of those very difficult hurdles. We brought flowers and balloons out to my son's gravesite when the time came. I had prepared some food beforehand to get through the day because I knew I would be exhausted. I think the rest of the day I rested and cried. If you would like, on the Loss of an Adult Child thread you could ask others what they had done.. It may give you some other ideas. Sending you a hug today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members InHeavensKeeping Posted February 20, 2015 Members Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hi I'm new to this grief journey too and I thought I would share what I did for my beautiful boy. His birthday was only two months after he'd been killed so we were still in deep shock. But I wanted it to be special just like he was ❤️we had two wreaths made one was a heart shape, we found a specialised florist who is renowned for making really unique wreaths. They were really stunning. We took them over and lit candels at the grave. We invited all his friends and family round and we had dinner together. I ordered white balloons for every bithday he'd had and a different colour for this birthday and we all went outside to let them go. We then had fireworks just five rockets to light up the sky but it felt good and his close friends let them off.Although we were devastated I knew James would of loved this display of caring and affection from everyone. I hope this helps you With much love Georgina xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jupiterkat007 Posted March 16, 2015 Members Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 To celebrate my girls birthday I have made her cards and dried out flowers to burn as a kind of offering to her spirit. As it burns I pray to her, telling her my feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khyris_Mommy Posted April 8, 2015 Author Members Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I survived. Barely...but I survived. We did a family dinner and balloon release. I forced myself to make cupcakes. By far the hardest day so far. Now....to deal with the 6 month mark this month....this is all so hard :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
