Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 You long timers on the list will know of our baby who died shortly after he was born. Today would have been his 8th birthday. For the first few years after his birth the 1st of November was always very difficult for me - and I hated it. Today - 8 years on - I got through the day like any other. Took the kids to school, went to work, picked them up again, shouted at them etc. I haven't forgotten what day it is - I just know that I feel " normal " (whatever normal is :-)). It is a lovely day (hitting 29 degrees), and am also very excited as I am off to see Robbie in concert tonight. I never thought I would be able to feel like this on a 1st November. So, yes, for me anyhow, time has healed. I will never forget, and I am sure there will be days when I feel very sad, but that raw hurt has gone.
