books + horses in my grief

15 years ago this January I am sharing
more memories of our beloved eldest son,
and a big brother to Tom, this is a small
memoriam blog post.

Graham B. Kirk
April 20, 1985 - Jan 15, 2004

These are old photos  below
and my special times with him and the horses
4 days of trail riding at Cypress Hills (west block)





RESOURCES RESOURCES RESOURCES!

Surprisingly, this is the first book we were gifted early in our grief
and it was excellent!


these books were my best friends and I would not
part with them as they are a memory of healing.


These are links to the healing professionals that assisted me in growing as I learn and
has made me empathic.  Here are some links that were the driving
force to my healing. 



----------------------------------

I read these a few years later and they were somewhat helpful but I know
there are many many more books published about grief , but suicide grief, 
if written well are extremely helpful.  

We think about Graham longingly and what we have learned
since 2004 and how healing is a very individual process.
(just make sure you eventually heal as best as you can)

"My dearest Graham we have learned so much and wish we knew then what
we know now".
