I wasn’t writing to memorialize my son, but rather to express the anguish of grief and how that changed my life. I further explained, “The therapy of writing it all down, is now it’s out of me. I don’t have to agonize over all those details anymore. I have carried these stories with me for so long, deep in my subconscious! Now I know that I have them on paper.

COMPASSION AND FRIENDSHIP

Posted on February 28, 2010 by Judy

I am so eager to share Susan’s letter. Remember, she has not read any of my blog posts, recently. I have to print them out for her because she cannot use a computer; due to her headaches. I had just recently asked her to share her thoughts with me; about how we met and the experience of attending Jason’s funeral. I am not changing one word of her letter: Continue reading →
