Bereaved Parents or TCF Conference?

[Minnie&Nana]

Wondering if anyone is planning on attending either of these this year?

My son passed/became an angel 10 yrs ago this August 22 ..with it being the 10th anniversary I am finding it very fresh again.

My daughter and I attended the Bereaved Parents Conference (http://www.bereavedparentsusa.org/G_Butterfly.html ) our first year he was gone and it was amazing. A few years ago, I attended The Compassionate Friends Conference http://www.compassionatefriends.org/News_Events/2009_National_Conference_in_Portland.aspx)- it was huge and I did not know anyone, so found it especially difficult.

Anyway, just wondering if any DISers might be attending either one.

Thanks much.

I do not know of either one, but you'll be helping someone, I'm sure, by posting this.

I hope you get through this difficult anniversary. I know that even though grief wanes with time, there are some things that trigger it all over again. God bless.

How kind of you to post. You are right, grief softens with time, but it is always just under the surface when it is one's child. We honor them by remembering and celebrating their lives.

Thank you so much - your kind words mean more than you might realize.
