My beautiful brown eyed boy Danu

(Toronto, Canada)

It has been almost one year now and I want you all to know the only way to pass through grief intact is to do charitable work for others in need. My son Danu taught me this. Danu is with me in spirit and in mind and I listen to him in my heart.

Death is final only in the physical realm. I see my boy smiling whenever I think about him, and he has shown us numerous times that he continues to participate in and guide our lives in love. The sorrow never goes away but the impossible days
or hours become further apart. Loss alters us.

I find it essential to think positively, and Danu has told me guilt is self-centered and self-indulgent. I keep this in mind
when I think of all the things that could have been different. The one year is coming up and I am trying to prepare. I plan to go to the country that day so he can see beauty through my eyes, so we can see together.

One more thing that may help you. Celebrate life and your loved one will be there.
Cook the favourite meal and they will be there. And then whenever the grief comes, you know it will pass.

Peace to all of you. Bernadina and Danu
