It is perfectly normal to feel the grief acutely on the anniversary of your painful loss. How could you not remember during that time period each year?

Allow yourself to feel what you feel, don't second-guess yourself or question yourself. Process the loss in any way that you need to.

Even if others do not understand, have peace inside yourself that to experience the loss all over again each year is totally OK.

My Nannie was the one person who loved me as a child. I would have been a far different person had I not had her in my life. She was the shelter from the storm for me until I was 10. Each year on March 17th, I give her thanks and allow myself to feel whatever it is I am feeling-usually a great deal of sadness. This does not mean I forget her the rest of the year but do feel it most sharply each March 17th.

It is normal to grieve each anniversary of our losses of those we held so dear to us.
