After every type of natural disaster, such as, earthquakes, hurricanes just to name a few, there is a recovery process. At first, it's shock and disbelief at the onset of such humbling displays of natural power. Then another step that comes shortly thereafter is teamwork. Teamwork to help clean up, to help the sick and wounded and to gather supplies. We were wounded again on Wednesday morning when I broke down when I went downstairs to the basement for the first time in a very long time. Wednesday evening, we continued our teamwork phase as we attended our first bereavement group meeting at Memorial Sloan Kettering. We met four famines that went through very similar experiences. We were the newest family there. Some lost their loved ones a year ago up to someone who lost their daughter ten years ago. The group was very helpful and we look forward to meeting with them very soon. We also are going to start going to The Compassionate Friends bereavement group that they participate in and look forward to gaining more support in this unbearable journey. We noticed that they still grieve and we have come to the realization that we will continue to grieve for the rest of our lives. Grieving this type of loss is something that we will take with us for the rest of our lives and we are coming to terms with that. This will not get better as some people have stated to us. We will cry forever and it's okay because he meant and means that much to us.
