Capture Your Grief - Day 12 - Normalizing Grief

I don't believe there is any 'normal' way to grieve. Some grieve similarly but there is no right or wrong way. In the beginning I couldn't go anywhere without a picture of Kellen with me. I needed a piece of him with me at all times. Later, I was gifted a beautiful keepsake necklace with Kellen's actual footprint engraved. It is an outward expression of my love and remembrance. I never take it off. And even though it's really just a piece of metal, it is so much more to me.
But still, almost 9 months later, I carry that original picture in my purse.
