I suppose the good news is that it's only one day to struggle with, LOL! I have to laugh (sometimes through my tears) when someone on the forums will ask if bmoms forget their birthchild's birthday! Wow, I was typing this and just got hit with a wave of sorrow! I guess it reminded be that next Thursday is 35 years! To answer how I deal with it... it helps to recognise what's happening and to know that basically things are ok and the pain will recede again. The first couple years were the hardest although I have to admit, being in reunion has brought the memories back to the surface! I try to remind myself that I do have a choice.. to focus on the pain and sadness or to recognise the blessings in my life... and I have truly been blessed!
