Feels Like He Was Never Here Options

[My heart Cooper]

Today was 8 weeks since we lost Coop. 56 days have gone by since I've touched and kissed him. I keep trying to picture him and the things he did but sometimes it feels like he was never even here. Five years went by so quickly that it seems like it was just a flash in time that didn't really happen. I hate the feeling.

Hi hon--

You said, "I do not want to feel this sadness forever, though I don't know how I won't." The truth is, you may feel the sadness forever, but it will not be so acute--it will be way softened down by the passage of time. And you will miss Cooper forever, but it won't run your life the way it does in the first few weeks and months after a passing, especially after a sudden, accidental passing like Cooper's.

If Cooper is up in heaven, then don't you think that he's totally happy and not worried about anything? That's the picture that's always painted of heaven, anyway. He won't care that he only spent five years here--he'll be happy where he is! (I don't know if I believe in heaven either, that's why I'm saying "if"...)

Keep on truckin'--you're doing fine, all things considered.

Big big hugs from Margi, Spiritwolf, and Sir Leopold
