I completely agree Shawn. After my niece Abbey died from an OD I can clearly remmeber moving in and out of the different dimensions. Those special dates that reminded us of her were also hard. My last memory of her was on Christmas Eve. Every year when that rolls around those emotions surface.

I’ve also worked with families that have lost kids due to car accidents or drug overdoses and knowing about those triggers I can come alongside the family during that time for extra support. I have seen God redeem my grief and use it to help others walk through dark times, as I’m sure God has done with your story.

Thanks for sharing.

After my brother died, I would experience great waves of grief between Feb and March – his birth day and anniv of his death. While those waves have settled drastically, I am still cautious with myself during that period. It’s amazing how the slightest smells, places, song, tv show, ect., can trigger something, and everything comes rushing back.

For me, the death of Robin Williams brought back a TON of stuff. As I’m sure it did for a lot of people.
