Grief Work 2024: The Pain of Fading Memories

It’s absolutely normal that the space Dominic once occupied in the hearts and minds of his peers gets smaller over time.

He was only a part of their lives-lives blooming and bursting in the spring of their years. 

They are moving and marrying and having children and building careers.  If he were still living it may very well be they would have lost touch by now anyway.

I know all this and yet it still hurts.

  1. I know exactly how that feels to a mom. I continue to share my memories of my daughter but that circle is smaller than it was.

    My heart is with you. I love when you share pictures of Dominic. The joy and fullness of his love of life come through them vividly.

    My love,

    Isabel
