  1. Dear Sunrise, My son died 18 months ago. It's been difficult, but it seems that I coped so much better during that first year. I don't know if it's because I'd always heard that the first year is so much harder, that I geared myself up for it, but I find that since that one year mark passed, I've been struggling to keep up the pace. Perhaps I somehow thought it would get easier and I let my guard down a bit, I don't know. The one thing I do know is that it hasn't gotten any easier, and yet others assume I'm ok, because I was doing well, all things considered, right up until last Christmas. I have no explanation. But being productive, and keeping up with my responsibilities has been difficult. In fact, I'm not productive and only do what absolutely has to be done. I think this is very confusing for my other children. I guess we just roll up our sleeves and wade through the grief, like it or not. Perhaps I will let 1 or 2 good friends know I'm struggling and ask them to check on me. Maybe I should give them permission to drag me out of bed even if I kick and scream, just so I don't forget how to do it. I notice that there's only a few responses to these posts. Do others respond with a personal email? Or are your questions and you pleas for help going unanswered?
