Coping, Honouring, and Healing
My son, Jake, died June 21, 2017, of meningitis. It was a day before his and his twin sister’s first birthday. When I first had twins, everyone approached me to tell me about the twins in their families. It seemed like everyone had twins. After Jake died, people started telling me about the losses in their families. Until then, I had no idea how many people were silently grieving. In the years since Jake died, I have turned much of my creativity toward keeping his memory alive for my children and finding ways to honour him. I have done a ton of therapy and have researched (and attempted) spiritual ways of connecting with Jake (despite my analytical mind). I hope that by sharing some of the things I have learned and some of the experiences I have had, it might help other people find ways to deal with grief in their own lives.
