Re: ~ Loss Check-In ~
Still seeing the grief counselor once a week which helps. Got a memorial tattoo last night for Ava. My husband is talking about getting one too, would be his first.

Just trying to make it through the holidays without losing it. Ava's school had their annual Halloween costume party yesterday. We live right down the street so it was impossible not to notice it was going on and she isn't here to participate.
QOTW: Who or what has been your greatest source of support?
My parents and SIL have been the greatest support. We just spent a week up north visiting my parents.
What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal? Hmm. Thinking about the holidays.

Have you taken any new steps towards healing this week?
We attended a conference on Grief with a workshop on "how to survive the holidays after a loss." It was really informative and it got my husband and I talking about what our plan will be so that we can survive this year.
What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal? We are still meeting with our counselor and support groups, but other than those no other new plans on the horizon. I saw a few workshops for "writing, music and mediation for grief" so I plan to look into those more possibly after the holidays.

My husband. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have him here with me and us going through this together.

@msunshine123 - Thank you for sharing! I think time alone and an exit strategy is going to be key for me.
@mrslucid - That is incredibly beautiful and so special. I love the words "living love" - such a perfect way to describe your ongoing love for Ava.
